How's your internet bandwidth? It may be that a new router won't do a thing... If your internet bandwidth is better than you typically see on your computer then the upgrade might be worth it...

What wireless band are you using on your computer (G, N, etc.). N is about the fastest you can cheaply get these days.

You can always buy a new router and if it does not help, return it...

...since the old one is dead, a new one should work far better.....

Just a thought.....

Ah but it's not dead! It was the power cord as I had mentioned.
