I don’t know if this is the right place for it, but for the longest time, for all time, my routers have always stopped working once a fortnight or once a month, the isp modem has internet fine, the router is showing it has internet but on the end device it says no internet

It’s only once I restart the router that we get internet again

I don’t have this problem if I just connect my pc directly to the isp modem without a router

My current router ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 will just like clockwork, once every 10, 20 or 30 days, just stop having internet, until it’s restarted

I’ve tried restarting it everyday when I get home from work as I thought maybe the cache was getting full or something but this didn’t fix it, it will still just randomly happen

This router cost a pretty penny a few years back, I don’t care how much I have to pay for a router, I just want to plug it in and it never have this issue, are there any?

Thanks in advance for any help <3

    My Ubiquiti Edgerouter has never gone down in the 6 or 7 years i’ve had it. It’s wired only so you would have to buy a separate wireless AP for wifi.

    But that’s one advantage of separating your router, switch, and wifi devices, usually each dedicated device does it’s dedicated job much better than an all-in-one device.

    The edgerouter-x is also like 50 bucks on amazon, leaving plenty of budget for a WAP.
