why don't you post the nature of the problem. it could be something minor.

2 out of the four ports are dead.
mostly require restarting once there's a fluctuation in power supply.
i'm doing good with the port part - it's not really the issue. the major problem is with the restarting.
there, can you help ?

your problem seems more of a power issue and replacing your router might not solve it. why don't u get a good stabilizer and a proper backup?

considering facts that i've used about 3 different types of backup systems - currently APC; power generating set et al other things u need in an office to work, i'm not gonna kill myself for a router !
i've heard people complain over the same bug so it's not just me. there's a buggy firmware on linksys routers out there.
i have a dlink WAP and the only time i get to touch it is when i'm dusting it !
are u using a linksys ?

am not and since u said there's a bug in the firmware why don't you go to the manufacturer's website and see if u can upgrade or better still lodge your complains there. also a search about that bug could do you some good. if all these doesn't work then consider getting a new router

I use 2 linksys routers; 1 of the the firewall router having more security features than the other which is a voice router. I have not had any major problems with them.

Linksys is a reputed product. If it's not working for you, try dlink or netgear. I have been running an entry-level netgear in my home for over 5 years without any problems at all. An inconsistent power supply will definitely affect any router, or any electrical appliance for that matter.

consider changing your firmware to ddwrt search on google. the best alternative firmware for linksys router provides more functions.
