And thats where the warrany comes in IF you think its a gamble. $12 for a 4 year warranty for a $70 router. So a total of $82. Still pretty cheap and 4 years if something goes wrong. But feel free to buy it new for $190. I think I'd gamble on that one because in 4 years, it'll probably be time for an upgradeto either a Wifi 8 device or last gens wifi 7 device
