True. Our router worked alright until AOL sent us a new one. It was terrible, kept dropping out but they refused to send us another one so we just stuck the old one back! Even if its not a very old one anything could've gone wrong, you can never tell with electrical things. Perhaps its worth taking it to a computer repair shop and asking if its fixable. Saying that though, you can also buy them from Currys etc for about £30 +.
