Routers/D7000 Failing?

Hello guys,

I've had a D7000 v1 for a few years (5+?) and recently I've found that devices will randomly disconnect (WiFi or ethernet). I'm unable to reconnect until I give the router a power-cycle, after which it will work again for a few days.

This seems to be happening with more frequency recently. I've never had a router this long before, so my question is;

Do routers tend to 'fail' after years of use? Is it reasonable to assume after 5 years a new router is required?

Any help appreciated!

What firmware version do you have on your modem/router?

 

What do the LEDs on the D7000 look like when this happens?

 

This is a modem/router. Is that how you are using it? Or have you bypassed the modem bit?
