Thanks for the answers!
The relay-netbook is connected to the router via LAN and a
powerline-passthrough. I'm in touch with my provider to get a new router, we'll
see.
My longest on-time was about 10 days I suppose. I'd like to do clean shut down
every week and then reboot (or I get the new router).
For now I hope I get a few days on.
I downloaded tor-browser - works.
