Asus RT-AC68U vs TP-Link Archer A7

Try to place your router and node on flat and hard surface, Try to place your node in the center of your house. The fewer the walls (and the less substantial their inner material) between your router and node, the better your performance will be. Houses with dense materials like plaster, lath, or chicken wire in the walls are particularly hard for WiFi waves. Whenever possible, aim for direct line of sight between routers

I am currently using a Motorola MB8600 modem and a TP-Link AC1750 Archer A7 router. I also have Comcast Xfinity 200mb for my internet. I have had almost nothing but problems with the Archer A7, it worked fine for about a week, but now it disconnects 3-5 times a day; and I am pretty sick of not having stable internet. For the record, I am 95% certain it s the router to blame, as when I plug my PC into the modem, I have internet, but when I plug it into the router again, I lose that internet

If you don't have to think about loading time or connection, that means you have a good router. Internet speed doesn't make the experience any better, as long as it's fast enough to keep from waiting. Anything more is overkill.

Actually I don't have a lot of experience with all this stuff, but have spent time through my years of using computers that I kind of learned my way around. I used the internet extensively to search for answers and understand terms that were new to me. Because I have so many wireless devices setup, I didn't want to have to set them up again so I used my old network name and password. With the new Archer A7, I am finally getting the internet speed I've been paying for and so far, haven't had a drop since I used a new ethernet cable and the included adapter
