[QUOTE="GlockPaperScissors, post: 2160744, member: 8374"] If it is making a hissing sound, then one of the capacitors has probably failed. I bought two Netgear routers around the same time, and the one that I never turned off failed after a little over 3 years. I turn the power off on the other one by flipping the switch on a surge protector whenever I don't need it to be running. That one is still working. I found a TrendNet router on Amazon for $15, and it works fine so far. The price has gone up since then. I wouldn't spend more than $35 for a new router. [/QUOTE]
