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
I heard Microsoft Windows release a few updates which broke wi-fi, and made people's computers slow and use more storage space.
I dislike how Windows Defender antivirus is bundled with Windows, and it can't easily be ununinstalled like Internet Explorer.
I feel most PC users will use the 30 day trial version of McAfee or Norton which came with their cheap laptop or desktop PC, A copy of an Antivirus like McAfee which they got for free from their ISP, work, or school, or use AVG, Avast, and other free antivirus they found online.

Re: Routers
would be nice if Windows defender guarded a router as that would work, but defender is easily disabled though.

Re: Routers
I read online some older routers and modems got hacked, and people got redirected to virus sites.
It would be nice if there was an easy way to find out if a router got hacked and infected with malware.

Re: Routers
I'd say if you end up getting a lot of viruses it would be the obvious reason. I know when I sell PCs I should recommend new routers as well.
