Hardware ver. x.x.x.x

Hi All,

Ok, this is strange....but bear with me. 

I all of a sudden, have both my miners (S-5's) just show....within 3 hours of each other, Hardware Ver. x.x.x.x on the main status page, and no cg miner version at all.

All mining has stopped.....obviously.

I did a search, and all I could really find was a suggestion to do a hard reset of the power, which didn't work.

So far, what I've tried (that's all failed):

Reboot
powering off and back on
hard reset back to default
reflash of firmware

Now....what is REALLY weird is that this affected one of the machines first, and after I accepted that this one is dead.....the other one did the exact same thing. 
How, do two machines that have been running all winter, one inside, one outside in the garage (both blown free of dust weekly), decide to show the same error and die within a few hours of each other?

I refuse to accept it's just bad luck.  There must be something going on.

The ONLY thing that has changed today is I installed a new router in the house. 
An Asus RT-AC3200.  How could a router kill two Antminer S-5's? 

I don't think it did...but troubleshooting 101.....what changed right before the incident?

Any help / guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks!
