Do Airport Express modems wear out over time

I periodically ( a few times a week) lose my connection with the Internet through Comcast. I have two Airport Express units n our home that is our wireless network. They are synced together. I will lose connectivity with one or both and have to disconnect from power for about a minute and then plug back in, then all is well until the next failure. Do these units wear out over time? Is there a better Apple product to use in this situation? I am using a Motorola modem in this process.

Thanks,

The physical law of entropy is stronger than God. Therefor, anything and everythign will break down given a long enough time. However, I think you may be worrying a bit too much here. Your express should generally last long enough.. until you plan to change 802.11n to another better format.

Yes, some go bad time to time, hence why limited warranty is only a year from DoP.

I suspect your issue may be due to interference. I'm curious what band are you using on those expresses.
