looking for a router to cater for 200 concurrent users

[nicefellow]

Dear All
Thank you for looking into my case.
I have a network with wireless APs. the APs are from Ubiqiti, model is UniFi AP-LR.
i am having trouble where i need to restart the router every time there is around 200 connections so the network can start working again( normally there are about 50 wired connections and the rest are wireless connections) . My thoughts is that the router needs replacement,
we already have cisco switches and firewalls installed.
can anyone suggest a model that can handle this load.

Thank you

What model router do you have now? That is a required piece of info.

Since you have fairly high-end network hardware, what do the syslogs say? You ARE capturing the syslogs to a central location aren't you?

The router is D-Link DIR-850L, which was given by the telecommunication company, and, i dont have logging details.
i was thinking of an AC1900 cisco router but i did not find that would be enough.

thanks for your response

I would get a wired only router. You have APs for WIFI. Don't confuse them by adding a "rogue" WIFI source. Since you have Ubiquiti APs, why wouldn't you get an Edgerouter and take advantage of the synergy?

I agree with kane on the edgerouter. That's a good first step.

150 users on the wifi might be an issue as well. Make sure they are properly spaced. It's better to have a larger number of units that don't broadcast as far then a few that broadcast far. You might want to run tests on the wifi bands to see if they are congested.

thanks for the suggestion, the Edgerouter could be an option, but, i dont have an option for the wifi. it has to be this way since the people to be connected will not have a wired connection.
this looks like a wired only router
Any advices

Since you said you had Ubiquiti APs, that should cover your WIFI needs. The router does not have to have built-in WIFI, the APs handle all that.
