I feel as though this question may be an oxymoron, but my TrendNet TEW-830MDR2K mesh routers have become rather flakey in their connection reliability.
I reached out to TrendNet support and implemented 2.4/5GHz channel changes among some other tweaks and still, am having reliability issues once every other week or so.
My modem is a Motarolla Surfboard SB6141. I've logged into it's status menu and as of this moment, need to double check the Power Levels, but I do recall them not being optimal. It's cable connection is the first direct connection after the signal comes into the house and goes through an initial filter on the side of the house.
Power is via a generic surge arrestor, no UPS.
That all said, I'd like your advice on alternative wifi routers or non-wifi routers that can be augmented with wifi access points.
This is for home use: 2 laptops, an ipad, 2 phones, a Synology NAS via cat5 connection and occassionally a desktop via cat5. Living space is about 2400 sq. ft across 2 stories. Modem is on the 2nd-floor.
I'd even consider business-grade products so long as the setup doesn't require a degree in network engineering.
