What is it about wireless routers that makes them stop working correctly after about two years? That has been my experience. I feel like an old laptop doing the same job would last longer.
- giantg2 6y agoMine seem to last about 5 years or so.
- opan 6y agoI've had better luck since only buying ones with good OpenWrt support. The Netgear R6220 has treated me well. Often around $20 on eBay.
- imhoguy 6y agoYes, I learned it is best to avoid any crapware with completely closed down firmware which doesn't get more updates after year or two. I still use 10 years old Tp-link wifi 300Mbps router on Openwrt/LUCI to cover my house upstairs. Now I am in a search of router/AP for downstairs to replace crappy ISP's one. My criteria: 8 LAN ports and OpenWRT compatible for another decade.
