DOES THIS ROUTER DIE AFTER THREE YEARS?

I don't have 3 years with it yet, I have used it between 1 and 2 years and it's working fine

I use a cable modem with a router and have had no problem in the last 2 yrs of use.

I had a similar problem. A few days later my router went out completely. I replaced the router and it worked well.

J GilbertI Agree with your assessment of Netgear routers. I had similar bad experiences with two Netgear routers where they both went out within two years of my purchase. In fact the last netgear router just stopped working 10 days after the year warranty expired, and Netgear would not provide any consideration. I am convinced their router products are not built to last. Also their support leaves something to be desired.Kenneth H

contacted netgear and warranty is 90day tech and 1yr hardware. but you can always buy a squaretrade warranty that are 3yr. on new routers

Just how old is your router? This never really had an issue with WiFi... The issue was with people with old routers.

that's more of a complex issue, You would probably have better luck renewing your connection lease on your router on an interval. best of luck.

Sorry, I don't know. I am using Netgear router, and it works for about half an hour. Then it disconnects until I reboot the it.

I can't say that I do. I have a D-link DIR 820L router and never lose connection. The router is only about 3 feet away from it also so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Same thing happened to me. I sent it back and got another and it was just a bad. The only way to fix it is send it back and buy a different router. This one is junk.

I bought the 8 port version on August 23rd, so far it is holding up - but most switch/routers tend to die after the 1 year mark.

Hmm, I'm not sure if that is true about it being too old, but I can tell you that mine was working with Time Warner Cable for about four months....then it died. I had to go back to renting one again. My great experiment did not work out for me. Good luck if you give it a try.

I could never recommend a Linksys router to anyone. My family and I went through 3 Linksys routers in 2 months. They just kept burning out. We got a belkin and until recently (decided to upgrade) It has worked wonderfully.

Mine cuts off (lights still blinking but no connectivity) every week or so. A bit annoying but it usually is revived by unplugging the power for a moment and re-plugging it in again). If you know of another 8 port router, let me know... I'd like an alternative myself.

It use to be Limited Lifetime but they have changed recently so call Cisco to be sure

Thanks for your reply. Now my decision is whether or not to give up the home phone or buy another router.

Why even ask? Motorola no longer supports this router and there are better ones on the market. Plus the power supply died after only 3 years.
