Buy a Netgear Prosafe FVS114....with the latest firmware they are probably the most stable router/firewall I have ever used. Its wired only, but if I need wireless I just add an access point. As of right now mine has been up for about 82 days. (since I last unplugged stuff to do some electrical work)....it never locks up, ever.
I'll take a guess and say the one you are currently using is either a Linksys or a D-link....right?

I don't trust the home-level stuff from most any brand, even netgear.....thats why I use the small business class stuff. The one I recommended is actually a small business VPN firewall....likely why it performs so much better.

For some reason when I read the title, I was thinking you were building furniture and having problems with your router.

Nothing wrong with that. Enterprise class is always good! But Pricey $tuff.

I don't bother with the enterprise stuff, because technology changes fast enough that consumer-level stuff doesn't break for me before it is obsolete. For example, I have a perfectly-functioning B router, but it doesn't do newer encryption protocols so it is useless. I also have a whole bunch of 10 and 100Mbps hubs and switches that are next to useless for me, since I only have a few 100Mbps interfaces around here and they all plug into Gig-E switches. Before you know it, 10Gig-E will be out in affordable, consumer-level equipment and I'll have 10Gig-E and a few obsolete Gig-E switches.
I have good luck with Cisco/Linksys routers. I use D-link ethernet switches, because they have always preformed flawlessly (but they are not as fast as enterprise-level equipment). |

Get a used Linksys Wrt-54GS/L and load hyperwrt or dd-wrt the opensource firmware will make your $100 router a $600 router, sorry iWrock but enterprise gear at home is silly unless the gear is free.
5 years on a router is not a bad life span. |
