<PRE>Hi Andr&#233;

Le 2012-05-04 23:42, andre999 a &#233;crit :

&gt;<i> Static charges can make a router (or some card in a computer)
</I>&gt;<i> malfunction, even for an extended period of time -- to subsequently
</I>&gt;<i> start working perfectly again.
</I>&gt;<i> It used to be VERY common with computers some 20 years ago. (My clients
</I>&gt;<i> were mostly in industrial areas which often had power spikes. More
</I>&gt;<i> recent computers are a lot more resistant to problems.)
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> I had similar problems with my router a few years back (for several
</I>&gt;<i> months), and more recently for 2 months my video card displayed all but
</I>&gt;<i> the simplist colours in green. (Very frustrating for displaying photos.)
</I>&gt;<i> But both work perfectly since.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> So probably not useful to replace your router. (Although a backup router
</I>&gt;<i> might be reassuring.)
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Regards
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>
It certainly would be nice if the router would fix itself, I bought the 
router recently (Belkin N router) as we wanted to use our laptops and 
wifi cellphones on the patio. Although that didn't work quite like I 
wanted. The reach is still not too great.

The overriding factor as to whether to buy a backup router is mostly 
whether it affects my gamer-kids. Missing a minute of WOW, NHL Hockey or 
Facebook would be the end of the world ... or something more severe! ;-)

I looks like the consensus with my family is to buy a backup router just 
in case the Belkin dies on us.

Cheers,

Marc
