Hey Folks,
I'm looking to add a router to my home network to help improve wifi stability and security. Was hoping to get opinions on the two routers I've researched and perhaps other router options.
D-Link WiFi Router, AC2600 MU-MIMO WiFi Router
TP-Link AC2600 Smart Wifi Router
I'm using DSL 80mbps service with a C1900A Modem/Router. The new router would plug into the modem to create a second segment. Currently we have one device that is hardwired to the modem, the remaining 10-13 devices are all connecting wirelessly. These device consist of a two laptops, desktop, three phones, several tablets/ipads, firestick and a few others i'm sure i'm missing.
We are running into multiple devices disconnecting from the wifi when several of us are streaming and/or doing online gaming. The Wifi doesn't go out, some devices remain connected to the wifi and are able to continue streaming/game without interuptions. In most cases this resolves itself after 5-10 minutes or by rebooting the modem.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the topic. Let me know if there is any additional information that may be a factor.
