Which one did you get?
I was looking at the Tp-link Archer A20 or the Synology RT2600

They both tested very high at Wirecutter.

I got a cheap Asus RT-AX58U from BestBuy as that was the only router that was in stock and available for pickup and I needed a working router so I could continue to work from home.

 

My first, second, and third choice in order was the AX89X, GT-AX11000, and AX88U

    Now I can't even go 10 minutes without losing it. What a piece of crap.  Back to 1.0.9.42 untill I get my new Non-Netgear Router.

      shoman94  Bizarre isn't it? You and others having nothing but problems and an unkown number of us not having any issues at all. Maybe your router is borked somehow and obviously if this is happening all the time, then there clearly is a problem, either a firmware issue, internal component issue or something entirely unrelated to the router itself. I'm assuming the modem isn't the cause of the problem or your cabling to the router itself?

       

      I can completely understand if you're having problems all the time that there comes a point when you just have to sack it off and move on. Here's hoping my own R7000 keeps going without problems.

        Portwey84 I think the underlying issue is that all the FW before .42 worked fine and there wasn't much issues (at least for me).  For any FW past .42, for some reason the 5Ghz band seems to break either momentarily or for long periods of time.  I think if you're using most of your devices on the 2.4Ghz band, you probably wouldn't noticed this issue as much.
