[CS-FSLUG] Dying Router?

[Don Parris]

Thanks all,

It's a personal router, and has served it's purpose mostly flawlessly over
the years.  I can probably say I've gotten my money's worth out of it, as I
only recently started seeing problems with it.  If anything, I've probably
had more problems with Time-Warner's cable 'modem' than with my router.  :-)

Anyway, I appreciate all the input!  That gives me something to think about.
