dont forget to give rest. electronic equipments wont work too long when it is stress tested(24X7) ;)

NO rest here, my 1k Netgear WGR614: Netgear WGR614 Wireless-N 150 Router - Netgear: Flipkart.com is working 24x7 for past 2 years now, i don't think it would have taken a break of more than an hour in last 2 years, when there's no electricity it's either powered by the UPS or Inverter, when no one's home, it's still switched on, but never switched off, ever... :p

Annoyed by W8968, I borrowed an old Netgear DGN1000 from my uncle. It works fine and never disconnects (I've been using it 24x7 for around a week) but WiFi range sucks, really. And it starts acting weird if I connect 3 or 4 devices at once.

well i am happy with it's range, this is what i am getting currently 2 rooms apart with 3 walls in between:

never had any issues with any no. of devices connected, usually 6 devices are connected (5 wireless 1 wired) most of the time, but it reaches 8-10 on every sunday.. :p
You can try this to increase range, can't say it works, but have this on my router for long now:
