Blame La Nińa. She will make for a warm dry winter this year across the
southern half of the lower 48.

Of course, the government (NOAA) is always right.
Grumble...

Do you know of a reasonably cheap hardware device that can monitor
something on the network, and powercycle it when needed? A watchdog that
acts on a hung device, say.

I know one or two, but they are expensive.
A timer reboot is too aggressive when a reboot is not needed.

A Netonix switch. Single best investment I made for my WISP.

I set them to ping a device on the opposite tower (in a PtP link) so that if the
radio (on this side) hangs (but still responds to pings) it won't fool the
watchdog into thinking everything is fine. The monitored device must actually
pass traffic so that a ping packet can travel to the opposite side, be answered,
and then return to the Netonix, thereby resetting the periodic timer.
