    Average people really don’t care about newest wifi version, so I’d say routers are one of the longest living electronics in most households, unless they are rented out from your ISP who might be interested in updating it often to justify the rent.

      And if built it right it could last even longer than that, just upgrade the asics for the new standards instead of getting a whole new unit.

      ISPs buy the cheapest reasonable equipment they can. When I have had equipment killed by lightning, the ISP’s VDSL router has always been among the dead

      It especially sucks that the ISP isn’t following whatever standards there are, so other VDSL modems can’t connect
