I bought it in Jan of 2020. Do you think I can just buy a new one and replace the one that I have? I just don’t know enough about doing anything other than checking cables and all of that.

one year seems strange

do have another router to try?
have you connected your pc straight to the modem?
- spidermanroachJan 25, 2021TutorI just bought another router. But I haven’t hooked it up yet. I tried it straight through my Motorola router and I didn’t have any trouble. Maybe I’ll just keep playing with it. Is that about the best idea that you can think of. I really don’t wanna buy another one because it’ll probably cost me a good amount of money
