Word!
TLDR; I'm looking for a new router which doesn't randomly drop, where I can game happily while the family watches 4k Netflix.
I have a home network setup, but... The backbone TP-Link Archer C20 supplied by my ISP is more like a backache.
I experience random network drops, where myself and other wireless users of the network remain connected, but it becomes unresponsive (ie. I can't even access the routers backend).
I've tried resetting the router, updating the firmware, pretty much everything short of voiding the warranty and installing OpenWRT (since my ISP technically still owns it).
With that said, I think I'm in the market for a new router, as I'd also at some stage like to look into getting better Wi-Fi signal in other parts of my house (but will deal with that at a later stage).
The only main requirements I have is that:

The only main requirements I have is that:
- I have the ability to bandwidth limit devices on the network
- There's dual band Wi-Fi, so I can still stream Netflix in 4K from my TV
- There's 4 or more 1gbps network ports for future upgrades
