Spent $340 on a wifi router that died in 11 days, what a waste
Bought a top rated wifi router from Best Buy last month and it worked fine for a week, then the 5GHz band just stopped showing up. Called support and they walked me through resets and firmware updates for 2 hours before admitting it was a hardware issue. The catch was I had to mail the old one back and wait 2 weeks for a refund, so I shelled out another $60 for a cheap backup. Has anyone else had a new router fail that fast, or did I just get the one dud out of a thousand?

I used to figure a router dying that quick was just bad luck, but after seeing how common this is I'm not so sure. Two weeks to get your money back on a $340 paperweight is rough, hope the cheap one holds up for you.
