I need a highly dependable router with no interruptions or performance issues. My experience with TP-Link routers has been inconsistent, often causing drops and requiring restarts. I’ve heard ASUS and Cisco models perform well. The Apple Airport Extreme is also worth considering. Several factors affect a router’s reliability—hardware quality, software updates, network traffic, and usage patterns. Some devices receive positive feedback while others face criticism despite similar performance. Reviews vary because issues can stem from external factors or configuration errors rather than the device itself. Routers with Unix systems differ from Linux-based ones in features and stability, but both can deliver strong results when properly maintained.
I'm facing issues with my routers as well. It seems the problem might come from using both 2.4GHz and 5GHz devices at once, and the router isn't up to the task... Don't rely solely on wireless completely... A modem would be more dependable if you can locate one that meets your speed needs.
by router you mean wifi access points? Wifi is never 100% reliable anyway. But with the right placement, most wifi APs should be able to deliver consistent speeds. I use wifi for gaming and streaming and for the most part, its 95% reliable. Maybe the problem can be solved if you provide more information. TP-Links are usually reliable enough, unless you put a thick wall between you and the AP.
Connect via Ethernet to all your gadgets. Instantly, it works well. WiFi isn’t always perfect—it’s just how things are. Your wireless setup shifts every day, and other networks or devices on the same frequency can disrupt your connection. You can’t control that interference. Using Ethernet guarantees consistent performance.
