For about double the price of the switch you can get a comparable
brand
router. You know the old saying. Fool me once shame on you, fool me
twice
shame on me. That said, I have 2 Bosch routers 1 is 16 years old
and the
other is almost 6 years old and the only problems that I have had
with
either unit is with the switches early in the game. Are you by any
chance
over loading the router?

I suppose I could be over loading it... but shouldn't there be
protection against that?
