Everything electronic goes bad eventually. Especially consumer electronics; most of them have a built in service life, after which the manufacturer expects them to go bad. It's so you will upgrade to the latest and greatest. 4 years is pretty good. I had a Linksys WRT54G that has lasted for over 2 years now, Though not with the original firmware. But that shouldn't make a difference.
