Iff'n you're motivated while they are home just run an extension cord from a different circuit to the router.

He said the neutral is causing intermittent mini-arcing inside the socket. Shut off power, and reach in and pull down the center tab just a little bit to reestablish the connection. Easy enough try at solving the problem if it works. Otherwise, he said check the hardwire connections.
EDIT: He also said free electrical advice is worth what you pay for it!! :-)
Thanks for that... I have 2 fixtures in my shop that seem to burn out quite regularly...

I have 14 can lights, the BR40 base. 4 in the kitchen on the same circuit, and I think I think I'm on my 4th box of 12 in the 8 years we've been here (new in 2011). I've replaced one of the other 8.
