I guess if you liked it, you could order the same exact thing. I searched online and it ranges from $50 to $90, but it'd be a few days before you get it, it looks like.Borek said:
But after well over 10 years I have nothing against a small upgrade, especially when I already HAVE to buy something.As @dlgoff mentioned, Netgear is worth looking at. A few years ago when I had to replace my router, I asked a few network folks I know and the consensus was Netgear had the fewest problems. I settled on model WNDR3700 (Ver.2, they are now up to Ver.4) which also meets your stated wish-list (Gigabit, Wireless, cost).Borek said:
There could be a few possible reasons for this. It could be due to a power surge, a faulty power adapter, or internal hardware failure. It's also possible that the device has simply reached the end of its lifespan.
It depends on the cause of the problem. If it's a simple issue like a power surge or a faulty power adapter, those can be easily replaced. However, if it's a more complex internal hardware failure, it may be more cost-effective to purchase a new router.
Unfortunately, routers do not typically store any data. Any settings or configurations that were saved on the device will need to be manually reconfigured on the new router.
The average lifespan of a router can vary depending on usage and environmental factors. However, most routers are designed to last for several years, with the WRT54GL being known for its durability and longevity.
Yes, there are a few things you can try. First, make sure the power adapter is plugged in securely and there are no power outages. You can also try resetting the router by pressing the reset button for 10 seconds. If these steps do not work, it's likely that the router is no longer functioning and will need to be replaced.
