I currently have an ASUS RT-AC87U. A cool device, but unfortunately the router has problems with the 5GHz network. This is constantly missing. Then it takes about 5 minutes and you can surf again or watch movies. Anyway, the problem is known to the router. I have the router since 2015 and he has worked tiptop so far. But for several weeks he always crashes.
There are hardly any fast routers in the network that are stable.
I'm connected to 2 phones, 2 laptops, HUE and a Chromecast. In principle, only Chromecast needs 5G. Nevertheless, most devices run at 5GHz.
Do you have a recommendation for me? What do you use and why do you recommend your router?
One from AVM or Lancom, both build German quality products.
I have the Fritzbox 7490 and never had problems.
