[mdlug] Router is giving up on routing let alone working

[Duane Brown]

I've had Linksys Cable/DSL routers, switches, and hubs over the years. 
AND replaced them a few times.

That said, It's always be due to my own messing around. Hung by a screw 
in the rafter which allowed one of the units to impact a concrete 
surface. Another just quit working and replacing a many year old item 
was easier than trying to diagnose it. And my most recent was because I 
wanted to consolidate a wired hub, a wireless access point and cable/DSL 
Router in one unit.

my point, if it's more than 2 years old just replace it. The next time I 
need to replace one it will be with a gigabit + wap + router possibly 
one that can run the tomato (I think that's it) or dd-wrt router firmware.

my 2 cents (well actually a bit more) worth of soapbox
