Does anyone else get a high pitched whining noise from this router?

I've had mine for almost a year with no noise or other issues... I vaguely recall a couple reviews with that complaint, though... you'd have to check reviews from 2011 to find 'em... quality control is never foolproof unfortunately...

Not exactly sure where the noise would be coming from. I've had mine for around 2 years and have had no problems. I know a lot about computers. I would check your modem. It may be going bad, and that's what is causing the noise.

I don't get a whining noise from the router -- it's given me flawless performance for about 1-1/2 years. However, there are electronic components that do emit high-pitched noise -- capacitors, for example, when used in certain types of circuits.

Mine does not have this high pitch you're talking about, just a loud hum, rather like a window air-condition unit. Since it is in my basement, it does not bother me. Maybe you have a bad unit?

Hey Marjorie. Upgrading the router's firmware could help. http://www.belkin.com/us/support-article?articleNum=10797 You can reach us at BelkinCares@belkin.com for assistance.

I had the same issue, I called up dlink tech support desk, so after 3 failed attempts to fix the problem, they sent me the replacement AC model. The new router is working fine now but w/ occasional signal disconnect. Overall, I'd say - if possible get your money back and go for netgear.

The horsepower rating of your router shouldn't have anything to do with that vibration. If your router normally does not vibrate, then I would suspect that the router bit is not perfectly straight (causing a wobble), or it is not inserted correctly and tightened sufficiently.

I reset my router about once a week to resolve this problem.I don't believe it's the net book at fault but something to do with the router taking a break from it's work. Sometimes my cable company disconnects which is when i reset their connection also. I love this machine by the way... fabulous value for the money.

Sorry I have not had an issue but really have not used the router that much yet.

We haven't experienced this issue. Ours it's nice and quiet. It may be a problem with the hook up our something.

This is a good router that I am pleased with. However it does make a fair amount of noise, and I would not put it in my bedroom.

You know I had to go and check! However, I have an 828LM and no hum whatsoever. Have you unplugged (the replugged) the unit and tested it away from other equipment for this humming noise?

I am wondering this as well. Seems to be a make or break aspect of what otherwise seems a great laptop. I have been scouring the web to see if users have found a fix to the reported poor wifi signal. Any word from Asus would be appreciated.

I have not had that occur. I wish I could tell you more about what is causing that noise. It might have done so, but I had mine installed by a professional and I was not there for the testing. I have not had a power failure so it has not had to kick in either, so I haven't heard it in operation.

I wasn't aware of a high pitch whine with the G9X. Mine works flawlessly thus far.

I have with two different routers. Sent them both and bought a different brand.

If you're experiencing "whine" as you call it. You have a grounding issue. Try "lifting the ground on each piece of equipment till you find the culprit. I keep a hand full of ground lift adapters on hand from trouble shooting. I have fixed many a problem my taking the ground off the laptop power supply. Safety be damned of course:)

Yup I never had an issue with mine. I live in a two story apartment, router upstairs and pc downstairs. I get 4-5 bars of signal strength all the time

Just started having this problem too, multiple times per day. Had internet tech come out - he said it's not the cable modem or internet connection, so it must be the router or the yellow cord that connects the router to the modem. He said the cord was wrong anyway - it was for a DSL, so he replaced it. Not sure if that will fix the problem though. I'd hate to have to buy a new router.
