re: Do Wifi routers "wear out" over time?

You are shifting the goalposts all over the place and seem to have forgotten your original argument. Your original argument was:
so you give me:
1. A link to a third party firmware project which is not tied to a single router, where lots of software features are added over time, something that is NOT typical of stock firmware, so it's entirely irrelevant to the OP's question of why one single physical router degrades in performance over time
2. A link to stock firmware getting bug fixes, not getting new features so it's irrelevant to your argument about feature creep/software bloat, so it's entirely irrelevant to the OP's question of why one single physical router degrades in performance over time
Yeah I did read them, it was all bug fixes, which has nothing to do with feature creep/software bloat. Again, you clearly said:
which is not typical of BUG FIXES.

Most performance issues are due to software updates over time that require more processing power.

You obviously didn't read them. How else am I supposed to prove that software caused performance issues. Want me to write some examples of bugs???

Fair enough. Sort of got wrapped around the axle. I will simplify my arguments.
I still stand by my argument that most hardware does not degrade in performance over time. It is more realistic to see it fail suddenly and never recover.
Most performance issues are either network interference from something new added to the environment or issues with router software ( pre-existing bugs or updates introducing new issues)
I do feel like people push the degraded hardware issue to sell more routers. Most people have way more router than they need. That was my original intent. Unfortunately I made terrible arguments on the software side.
