haven’t read the comments- but if it hasn’t been suggested yet, check for dust (unplugged)- get can of compressed air and blow it out- might just be dying though- heat over time destroys things-

Router is the distribution point for wi-fi. When router freezes, won’t matter if hard wired or wireless.

My sister and hubby found that FBI thing on a list of available networks when they were traveling once. 😁

I think I changed my internet plan and about the same time router stopped freezing. Coincidence?

My routers kept dying at five years, so I just rent one from Comcast.

I’ve two TP-Link routers, and I reboot them about once every couple of weeks.
These latest two are less than a year old, but it was always the same for the many earlier ones I’ve had...

I really do not mind reboots since it is just unplug and plug and wait 2 minutes to finish reboot. I was just confused why router stopped freezing. I am almost sure now it is the change in internet promotion plan I signed up for with Xfinity.

my spare dell laptop tossed to me during a “restructuring” as a goodwill token weighs like a small boat anchor but now runs
Ubuntu Linux and has given me a decade of prototyping/pretesting ideas for solving customer issues and upgrading my own capabilities. Old Iron can be useful.
To: Bobbyvotes
9 years? Time for a new one. Plenty of TP-Link wifi routers on Amazon for under $100.
Capacitors in old electronics slowly die over time. They keep voltage spikes and other noise from propagating on the power bus. When they age, they stop doing their job.

Evidence Lab is pretty good for protective naming. Scared my boy when his hand-me-down car still had it in the wifi list, thought he might be driving a crime scene.
To: Bobbyvotes
It heard you threaten it and corrected its behavior.
To: Harmless Teddy Bear
LOL...now that’s a funny story!

“...I can see you is logged on to my router.”
Correct grammar is “...I can see you ARE logged on to my router.” Now that you caught me, what are you going to do about it?
