Could a power surge with a router's functions? I had a

i use routers found in thrift shops (usually goodwill will carry used routers)
but they work flawlessly
i got a dual band gigabit 8 port dlink for $6
just make sure to find a power adapter for it too while you are there
MATCH VOLTAGE AND AMPERAGE AND NEVER MIX

yeah it could mess with it.

btw there are plenty of routers for less than $50.

Any specific recs or should my googlefu be enough?

Not him but TD-W8961ND is a standard entry level. $30. Pretty decent. What functionality do you want exactly.

I need a dual band router. I found with both the stock Comcast router and my current router that the 2.4ghz network is nearly half the speed of the 5ghz.

We had one die from a power surge at an old office. I always wanted to grab it so I can test it, see if it can be repaired (as long as only a few fuses or varistors blew, it shouldn't be impossible), but never got the chance before I told the bastard of a boss to suck my dick.

if that's your router in pic OP it's probably just belkin being shit

we're on our 3rd belkin and the wifi still shits out randomly which is the problem we were trying to fix in the first place, so my guess is it's just a belkin thing

Yeah that's my router, but I never had any problem with it until I had a power outage. I know I fucked up by not having it run through a surge protector, no matter what router I get I won't be making that mistake again.

You just need to match the voltage, the amperage can be anything so long as it is at least equal to what the device will draw
