Modem/Router - How Often Do You Updgrade?
I'm with muddle_mann. Unless the ISP upgrades it's service, I'm not upgrading unless it's broken.

It would have to be a pretty crappy router to require a weekly reboot due to those reasons.

I just got a new improved service notice "cough cough" / rate-increase which says I must upgrade from 2.0 to 3.-whatever to enjoy increased speeds. Should I care enough about the technology or speed difference to buy new modem?

Dlink dcm 202. Old enough for me not to recall when it was bought.
