My router stops working from time to time, it is still on but requires an reboot before it works again. Also, my network is wired.
While the router was not working, I was able to open the router settings page of it.
There wasn't anything wrong with the settings either.
So, does this mean my router will have an complete failure soon?
I can't RMA it anymore, since this thing is acient (about 8 years).
Also, if this thing is going to die, recommend me an wired router.
Thanks.
I have this sometimes and mine is 2 months old...

Not sure if it will outright die, but it sounds like it might be time for a new one.
Buy a wireless router, disable the wireless radio. No problem. They are pretty cheap nowadays.

What IS your router? Specifically, don't just say "a linksys".
This is what the OP should buy:

How so? It's got everything I need in a router... Dual-band routing, USB NAS, Gigabit Ethernet, Wireless N, what's "excessively useless" about it?
I could understand if grandma just needed basic wireless access, but I like to control every aspect of my home networks (I admin 3).
Surprisingly for you, only few people would need features such as Dual-band routing and USB NAS in a home network, and these features should jack up the price of the overall router quite a lot.
I know it seems like alot of money, but you get what you pay for. If you just need a wireless connection with nothing special, just pickup a shitbox in a brick and mortar store. Now if you know what the hell you are doing and need a powerful, robust router, shop on newegg and look for the one with the options you need for your home network.

I just got a WL-520GU and stuck on tomato. Bam, network printer, network attached storage, etc. Since I find it doesn't actually share with samba for some reason, I just set it up so that I just run \\192.168.1.1\Printer Install\InstallPrinter.bat, and it's installed and configured for you.
martijnp3000, grab a $40-$60 Linksys router, wired or wireless, your choice. If you need more features, install DD-WRT on it.

Did you honestly just recommend a horribly overpriced fucking NETGEAR ROUTER!?
[b]Holy.

I'm going to have a brain aneurysm.
Ok thanks again for all your help.
