(My clients +were mostly in industrial areas which often had power spikes. More +recent computers are a lot more resistant to problems.) + +I had similar problems with my router a few years back (for several +months), and more recently for 2 months my video card displayed all but +the simplist colours in green. (Very frustrating for displaying +photos.) But both work perfectly since. + +So probably not useful to replace your router.
