What model router?
It is an ASUS RT-AC5300

(from the way the router is positioned you can also
deduce I'm not married :-).

What services?  First place I would look at is DHCPD there.
      Unless you are doing something fancy with gaming or web proxying
Nothing fancy. The router is doing all the work, acting as DNS and
DHCP for the home network. Don't have it configured to transfer logs

Consider that you are running out of temp space with logs and this space is freed up on restart from the crash.  With an old router, many permanent things can eat up storage such that there is little space for temp logs.

to the main computer or anything like that. In fact I've often used
phones and tablets on it when the main computer was down for a re-gen
or something like that.

Electrical?  Summertime brownouts can be REALLY bad on low end stuff.
      Get a Tripp Lite Line Conditioner (LC line; they have been making
stuff like this since '47)
I've got a line conditioner (Panamax, not Tripp Lite). Also I'd think
brownouts would be more likely at the hottest time of the day, not
at 4 am when it is more likely to be relatively cool (though in Florida,
the "relative" modifier definitely applies this time of year).

4am.  That is about the time the cleaning staff came through.  We had to put a camera into the area to figure out what was happening and we saw the staff plug the vacuum into the server's power strip. We had to screw plates into those outlets to get them to stop!

But you might be having a utility event then in the middle of night that is producing the electrical glitch.  "Oh no we don't to anything like that to our customers."  Yeah, right.  A good line conditioner should be keeping those gremlins away from your electronics.  I have been up at 3am (on a conference call to my colleagues in China and Germany) and heard my Tripp Lite doing its job and no motors in the house started up at that time.


      Also check the condition of your notebook's battery.
Not a notebook, a desktop, and the UPS has plenty of reserve.

Provided it has line conditioning circuitry.  (showing my bias here)


      Perhaps the cleaning help plugged the vacumn into the same outlet
as your router :)
          This happened to us at one branch office; ouch!
Or maybe it is gremlins.  :)  :)
It is at home, not work, and I'm sure I wasn't running the vacuum at
4 am when the crash happened. It probably was doing a backup to USB
drive, which might make the bugzilla that has been pointed at
here the culprit, I just don't understand the router involvement.

Finding where the gremlins are popping out can be soooo much fun.

Not.


I'll be interested to see if both stay up for several days now,
or perhaps the router keeps crashing, but at least the system stays
up. (In which case it is time for new router I guess, or at least time
to check for new router firmware).
