I suspected as much. I am just aware that i could go from a usable (if slightly hamstrung) connection on wifi to nothing at all in seconds and it take 4 days to get yet another modem out. Not great when i'm trying to use it for work
It would actually help if this dying one would just kick the bucket and force the issue
mind you the fact that the logo button now seems to randomly swap between blue and purple even tho it is in router mode with wifi on, does not bode well for its life expectancy.
