I have had one TechniColor modem from UPC which has died.

Likely after 10 years of service but I do not know if it was replaced 
(by me) in the meantime, I think it was. I think I got a new modem 
somewhere halfway.

So it is more likely that it died after 5 years of service but I am not 
sure anymore.

I also have a TP-Link TL1043-ND that has been acting weird but I 
couldn't be sure because of that modem.

My DIR-655 would sometimes completely lock up requiring a factory reset.

That was especially sour as I was not at home at that time but still 
wanted to use my home servers.

However the TP-Link is switching just fine and so is the DIR-655 so only 
the TechniColor has seen evident switch breakdown.
