Well, "wear out" sounds like a tire or a pair of jeans -- like the quality 
degrades over time -- but I doubt routers work that way.

On the other hand, I think what Tony was saying is that the probability of 
immediate failure might be increasing as time passes.

I wouldn't buy a new one unless my old one had failed.
