My router has died. I am connected to the internet with a cable. I am TETHERED!!! Anyone have a suggestion for a new router? I currently have (had) a D-Link DI-614+ 2.4 Ghz router. I live in a one bedroom apartment, so it doesn't need to be too powerful, I would think.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I've been using this one for about three years. The ones linked to upthread look good, but what I've got still works fine.

Vortex, how dead is it?
If there is power, it might be resurrected with the hidden reset button trick.

It's good for Internet use, but if you do big data transfers between your own computers, then spending extra for a wireless N router is worth it. At a similar price you might as well go N too, but I haven't used any so I don't have any data to point you toward one.

Why do routers fail so often, anyway? Isn't the entire thing solid state? Shouldn't they last longer than, say, your television?

I've had my current router longer than my TV.

I am pretty sure my television dates from before there were internet routers. (It was my husband's grandmother's, and she died several years before I met him in 1995).
