Re: Router Problems

It's the power.
The DLink is rebooting because it momentarily loses power. It only takes a jitter.

If it does it only when you hit things, then it's probably a loose barrel connector that's getting jarred when you hit. That's often because it isn't the right barrel connector or it's just too loose a fit.

If it does it when you put the robot snug against the wall and push as hard as it can, then that's probably miswiring (because the dipping battery voltage is the likely cause).
