Is it normal for this router to have a high pitched static noise ....i had two now and they both make noise , I find it odd for it to make noise

I own both the ERPoe-5 and the ERLite-3; both are completely silent. I am not currently using Poe however. Does it make the noise with cables removed?

I always install them in an electronics closet so I didn't pay attention to a noise. However, I am actually going to install one today in about 4-5 hours. send me a follow up question and I will let you know if the one I installed has noise or not.

Just got this Friday five days ago and we had the same problem. The connection wasn't good and then it started making static noises and skipping sounds. I then decided to plug it in to my computer to charge it but the cord included was no good. I was able to use a cord I had here and charge it through the computer. I am going to be calling about this though. So my answer would be NO, it shouldn't take that long.

Gail's reply does not make sense to me. I used a router (SMC 3605T) excellently for over 3 years, and some weeks ago it suddently started buzzing intermittently- NEVER had a problem w. connectivity. Over the past weekend I went out and bought the Netgear. Soon after it started doing the same thing. Called Netgear, and they told me to change to another power plug - only. Really deep.

No, but I have two computers, a NAS, router, switch, and two air cleaners and a few other items on in my computer room. I can't believe you are hearing a sound from the power supply. If you do, I would go online and Google it to see if others have said something. I have two of these with no problems.

I have not noticed any time to warm up. I"m amazed at the high quality sound I get . I hope it has a long useful life. Some things like my Century Link Modem contains a chip that causes the modem to fail when server format is changed. I hope this is not a future trend in electronics. I have to pay $180 per year to replace modems which have been programmed by my ISP to fail.

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.

That sucks. When mine is on it's set to Cool/Low/62/No Ion. It still doesn't actually cool particularly well (as my review says), but it does stay on indefinitely. You could try "power cycling" it. Unplug for 10 minutes or so (to make certain the compressor is reset) then try again. Works for routers, lol. Also consider maybe its an electrical issue. Try plugging in to a different circuit or something? Or is something bouncing air back into it that could be causing it to get wrong air temps? I'm just throwing out ideas here. :)

I have two of them running in my home Internet gateway router and can't hear them. Very quiet.

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.

Mine cuts off (lights still blinking but no connectivity) every week or so. A bit annoying but it usually is revived by unplugging the power for a moment and re-plugging it in again). If you know of another 8 port router, let me know... I'd like an alternative myself.

Oh! It sounds like there's something seriously wrong with it. I use both of mine 24/7 and none of them have ever made the slightest sound.

Sounds like you might have a bad one. I have 6 of these....no chirping since I installed them 6 months ago.

Personally, I haven't had any problem at all. I have my router in the other room and it connects just fine. I can't really give you an answer, because I have not experienced that kind of problem. Hope you figure it out. Good luck

ok. Got the replacement.1) the static sound still exists from 1-8 but it's half as bad as the previous unit2) now sometimes i get a buzzing sound when the volume is at 0This one was also manufactured in October 2010.I'll see if this bothers me enough, else i'll send it back.

I have not had any static noise; the sound is clear no matter what I have on around it. This includes lights (though I don't have touch lights), timers, electric fireplace switch, dimmer switches, electric heater, wifi and other computers, microwave, and phones. Hope that helps!
