AC1750
Don't know if I am being hacked or monitored in some way but every 1-3 months my wifi goes down and the only thing that will fix it is switching it out with another modem/rrouter that is exactly the same. YES! I have two because of this crrap! And when it happens I have to reconnect all my smart home devices which is a pain. So, could anyone tell me why these devices keep regularly going down??? NO ONE should have to switch there routers out every couple of weeks!

What router is it? AC1750 is a speed and not a model.
What firmware are you running on them?
What modem are you hooked to?

If your WiFi is going doing, this doesn't mean someone is hacking you. Usually means a mis configuration of the wifi or external environment surrounding interferences from other wifi neighbors.
