AE BASE Station upgrade?
I have an older....not even sure because we have been using it for SO LONG..... AE BASE STATION. It is the one that is shaped like a UFO. Recently, we have been experiencing the occasional power outage in our area, which is not uncommon. When the power comes back up, it is rare that the router comes back up normally. I nearly always have to do a complete reset of the modem and router and wait for sometimes hours before I see the longed for BLINKING LIGHT to have a connection! COULD it BE that this old router is just ready to be replaced? Or could the Cat5 or Cat5E cables need to be replaced? Do these things make a difference? It is just frustrating why this is happening more and more all the time. I noticed our neighbors router signal comes right back on without a hitch after a power outage.
Input MUCH appreciated. Guess we have been lucky to be using this old dinosaur for all these years, eh
