Re: Routers
I agree there seem to be a lot of cheaply made modem and routers which break often, or become outdated in a few months.
Maybe building a router and modem with a Linux computer, and network pci cards, pci wifi cards, and other parts would be more reliable than buying a router from a computer store.

Re: Routers
I wouldn't mind building my own router, seems like they could use some sort of cooling in them which they all lack.

Re: Routers
I think the router maker may not add a cooling fan because they dont want the router to last very long.

Re: Routers
I think that some router makers release updates may make the router run faster, or use more router system resources, so the router is more likely to overheat, and damage the router's circuit board and parts after many month of being turned ON.

Re: Routers
yeah its like computers, every update renders the hardware less useful.
