Router died?

My router is not putting out a signal anymore and hubbie says it died (I am thinking hubby may be a little too lazy to work on it)
I know there are a million reasons, but is there a common reason it doesnt put out a signal or do they normally DIE? (In which case I will owe my hubbie an apology).

 

We are on our third one in four years. Technical answer from my wife - "It died" :?

 

Yep, however this time we went for something other than the cheapest one.

 

Have had good results so far with Linksys routers.. Also have ours on a UPS/Surge protector..

 

Post the brand and model and I'll give you the "reset" instructions.

 

I have one that I'm not using/will sell. It's only hard-wirded. No wireless.
