It was so common and so reliable it became iconic. Sadly, many routers fall well short of that. In theory, a router should last decades, essentially forever. After all, they have exactly zero moving parts to fail. They should be every bit as reliable as a s game console like an Atari And some routers do last essentially forever.
This past weekend I counted 17 devices on my network. That sounds ridiculous, but if every family member has a phone, a tablet and a laptop, and if every TV has a game console or a streaming device connected to it, and you have a network-enabled printer, 17 devices starts to sound normal.
A newer wireless router typically will have a faster CPU to handle more concurrent traffic, faster networking to handle Internet connections faster than megabits, and it will also have dual band wireless to reduce interference from cordless phones and microwaves. Not all routers are built with top-grade parts, and not all of them have adequate cooling inside.
That was what happened with my nice shiny new dual band router. It was great while it worked. Then one Thursday morning it decided to conk out and ruin my work-from-home day.
