Hi IG -

I had the same problem with the PI router/cams on DSL... the router would get in a state where the DSL line was up, but it wasn't sending image across, and I couldn't remote into it to reset it...

So did as WiFi suggested and got a small timer that you would use for a single light in a house, installed that on the power strip, and haven't had a problem since (well except that my webcam is still on the fritz)... I got the timer for $8 at Home Depot, it has a battery backup installed and has been working for over 3 years now.

I've still got the 12' Alumacraft in the water, but not sure that it would be the boat we'd want to take out to the Rattler, unless the lake is like glass...

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE, bring on the ice!! -PIG
