Its not the router at this point. To go through 2 and blame it. Flakey power? Look at getting the house wiring checked out. Then invest in a UPS. Also make sure the router is running the latest firmware. I hope the router is not upgrading firmware in the background when you have a power issue. It could be corrupting the units. Some times people set them to auto update. I have mine set to check manually. Next thing you can do. Fire up the router and do a hard reset. Once powered up. Hold reset button for 30 seconds. Unplug router while continuing to hold reset button for 30 seconds. Plug power back in and continue to hold for 30 seconds. Its known as the 30-30-30 second hard reset. That is also their older line of last gen routers. I would look at the current line personally. I recently went from a Linksys E4200 v1 to a Linksys WRT1900AC router. Can't say enough about it. And my E4200 was even awesome and served me well for 3+ years. I only replaced it do to age. Charter is also my ISP.
