Ken, also, I don't think it's RF causing your routers to fail.  If that were the case they'd surely fail more often than a year apart.  Something else is causing the routers to fail like that.  Could it be high line voltage, or perhaps a faulty distribution transformer out on the pole causing an intermittent spike or surge once in a while, like on a windy day, let your imagination run free with this and nothing is off the table?

Good suggestion. I have a couple. All I have to do now is FIND one... If I 
can't find one, I'll go buy another one. They're cheap.
