In need of recommendations for the best router for a small business - 10 people on R7000/AC1900 now

Hello,

I am looking for recommendations on the best router to use in our office. We are currently having issues where some people are dropped from wifi when we are all in the office together. I would call our ISP when this would happen and everything would look good on their end. I believe we are maxing out the capabilities of our current router and I am not sure which way to go on finding a better fit. We had to quarantine a couple of weeks ago and while I was in the office by myself I never had an issue. Once people started coming back to the office, we began experiencing the issue again. I would appreciate any recommendations. I am not a savvy person when it comes to these types of things.

    What modem do you have? 

    What speeds upload and download do you pay for?

    what firmware is on the R7000? Its not known for the best firmware.

    If your business is reliant on wifi/internet, it might be worth checking into the business grade equipment. It costs more but tends to be more stable, have longer/faster support, and much more set/forget type.
