R7000 dropping wired more and more frequently over the year, is it dying?
Had this router for quite a while and working really well. Been using 1.0.9.42 for a long time without any issues. But maybe a year ago it first started to slow down. Speed tests show 100-150mpbs whe...
You could see if the power supply is going bad. they're a challenge as they'll give the correct voltage until under a load.
If you have a different power supply with same voltage and polarity, you could try it. The amperage can be different but it still needs to be at least as much as the original.
Thanks for the quick reply. I'll try a different power outlet and see if the problem persists. Will something like this work if the adapter is indeed bad?
If the power supply is indeed the issue, sure.
If its not, its a bit of $ down the drain that you could have saved for an upgrade.
I usually tell people to look around at their current device. You'd be surprised how many use the same voltage/barrel sizes. its just to make sure it has enough amps

You can't repeat this too often. Anyone who has been buying electronic stuff for more than a few years will have a box of redundant adapters.
It doesn't even have to be the same sort of device. I have used "power bricks" for USB drives to run routers, for example. They use the same sort of electricity.
