uh-oh... dying radios AC-RT68U?

[finite9]

I know this is hardware related most likely and N/A for this forum in that case, but has anybody experienced same?

I physically moved the router 10cm. a few mins later I noticed I had no connection to router from any device. Sure enough, radio LEDs were turned off. I rebooted the router, but it didn't help.

Next morning, still same problem. I picked up the router just to have a closer look at the LED labels, and the radio LEDs suddenly lit up again. Presto, working wireless within seconds.

does not sound good. Could it be loose parts in router? It's 11 months old, it's never been dropped or otherwise damaged. Router has been working flawlessly for 6hrs now.

There's a button on the router to enable/disable the radios. Make sure you aren't accidentally pressing it while moving the router.

hahaha, im such a dumbass! I must have pressed the button both times by accident. I _did_ pick it up with my right hand on the side where the button is.
