| Question for you network guys - how to tell if modem/router is bad? |

Also if you have an extra power supply wall wart with the same ratings try that. I have seen those supplies get weak and cause random reboots and such, otherwise a new device is in your future. |

I probably agree that it is time to replace it, but... You can try changing your wifi channel and or looking for sources of interference...I was having a similar issue and was going to replace my router when I discovered the issue was the baby monitor. Whenever it was on and near me while using the Wifi, I would randomly loose connection. Also if you are not completely fed up a factory reset and fresh network details couldn't hurt...or better yet see if you can put DDWRT on it. I get much better reliability with the full featured 3rd party firmware. But really... ...Buy a new one. :cheers: |

Did a factory reset last night and screwed around on the internet for about an hour with no issues. Wrote a post to say it was working and when I hit the post button, I was no longer connected. :lol Upon looking up when the router was purchased, it's only 3.5 years old. I could have sworn that I've had it longer. Guess it's time to buy a new one. |

I tend to get about 2-3 years out of a wifi router. |

Usually ports are controlled in groups of 8 by the same logic. If you have a physical issue with a port, I am not surprised that you would have problems elsewhere with the same device, as there is one single silicone for everything. Time to upgrade! |
