Likelihood of being charged call-out fee for temperamental router suddenly behaving?

[Thrillingbeck]

i have a V3 hub for about 7 years and i think its playing up. 

over the last year its been disconnecting all the wifi device(with the green light on) occasionally. sometimes fixing itself and others requiring a hard reboot. often several times in a row.  the ethernet ports also stop working occasionally forcing more resets and reboots of all connected equipment.

Last week was the worst after rebooting it four days in a row to stop wifi issues and the ethernet ports not working at all i finally managed to get an engineers appointment.

however as expected, the router is now behaving nicely so there's no more fault.

should I cancel the appointment to avoid the risk of the £25 call out charge if they find nothing wrong and wait till next time it plays up and hope i can get someone there quick enough?  

what is the likelihood that they will charge me if they can't find anything wrong?  is it feasible i might get a new router just in case as its become so bad?

I'm half tempted to leave for a year or so and re-join in the future just to get a change of equipment

any soothing words of reassurance or advice?

• Hi they shouldn't charge you the engineer should just replace the router

When I had engineer visit asked him to replace the router no problem
