Well that didn't last very long

Got up the other day and it was dead , checked power supply ... ahaa

rummage around in bits drawer and find a replacement with exact same output .. happy days thinks I

5 hours later another power supply bites the dust ... don't think I'll bother trying another supply

wow, youre either jinxed or.. god knows what.

I wonder if youre getting power spikes?, do you have a protected extension, just in case, Ive always had netgears and never any issues.

Doubt power spikes otherwise I'd be ranting about other stuff getting damaged , I'd go with jinxed lol

I'm with virgin and have the supplied d-link router, works ok but has played up a couple of times lately, turn off and on again and all's well

I use a Buffalo router, it's very reliable, I have had it a few years now, and used it with 3 different ISPs without a hitch. It is much better than any router I have received from my ISPs (including the BT home hub)

I've gone back to my old buggy d-link router and it's behaving very well at the moment ... it did piss me off a few months back which is why I bought a new one

I was looking at the buffalo this affy .. but decided not to get one

Would really like a router thats gonna be consistent and perform .. not after miracles .. but next one I would prefer a bit more longevity

I have bought loads of the larger 2830's of these and they are bullet proof and reliable, this is the home version for Virgin Media customers. Cost a little more but work very well:

I wanted a new router and got one for £5 plus a year's contract with my ISP (Plusnet)

If you're in a built up area worth playing with settings so tom, dick and harry can't hack into it. Nothing is secure these days if they can find it

security is all sorted Jane no worries on that score , plus I live on top of a hill so signal is never a problem , I've just been unlucky with the routers I have had .

In fairness to my old buggy reinstalled d-link it has been working brilliantly this time around , only time will tell if it goes back to it's old ways .
