Thankfully mine is not on the list as I rarely power it off, I might reboot it every few days as a precaution anyway and see if a new firmware is released for it soon.

I am in the opposite situation to sil. I got sick of having to regularly power cycle or reboot my router via the management interface to keep it stable so I went out and bought an enterprise grade one. It was online and performing well with 12 months uptime at one point until we had a power outage long enough to dry up the UPS.

Consumer grade ones tend to have rubbish firmware, tacitly admitted by at least one of the manufacturers which builds in a "Self healing" function where you can schedule a periodic reboot. Basically admitting that the firmware is such flaky rubbish that it will stop working properly unless it is rebooted on a regular basis.
