    The main issue is they have fans and the bios will sometime fail to boot. They are less reliable but much more powerful. It’s a tradeoff.

      Ermmm router have fans mini pc actually doesn’t( at least mine mines fanless) routers also fail to boot but also that not a giant issue either way cause who’s turning on and off their router and any significant interval I have run time of 6 months before mines restarted and that’s due to software updates otherwise it would push a whole year

        I have never had a household router that had a fan in it. Fanless mini pcs do exists they are rarer and usually more expensive and weaker.

        The rebooting problem comes from micro interruption in the power grid. Yes you can add a UPS, but then these will become the main reason why the internet is down (I have a whole stack of APC branded UPS with failed batteries)
