Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had high hopes when I bought this router to upgrade from my ISPs provided WiFi. I looked around and read all of the reviews and decided the TP-Link Archer C7 was the one. I chose it because it was dual band supporting both 2.4 Ghz and 5GHz, seemed to have good reviews, and a reasonable price. I was excited when I took it out of the package because it just looks more substantial than the junk my ISP supplies. I set it up adding it to my network and disabled the WiFi on my ISPs equipment. I connected all the various devices in my house to the 5GHz network. A lot of my devices are newer and already supported 5Ghz. I had a few devices still on 2.4 Ghz and I connected them the the 2.4 Ghz network. Everything seemed to be good for a few days. Then the lost connectivity started happening on various devices. Sometimes devices would work fine, then start to lose connectivity. The entire 5Ghz network would seem to drop out of existence and no device could see it. At other times the 2.4 Ghz network would drop out and could not be seen. Each time the only cure was a reboot of the TP-Link to restore connectivity. I am an IT guy with 20 years experience in the business. I am the guy everyone calls to troubleshoot and fix their tech. I have done everything short of sending the device back for a refund to try and make this router more stable. When it works, it is super fast and life is good. Then seemingly at random, things go south and a reboot is the only cure. I know that this is a piece of consumer grade equipment and I shouldn't expect it to perform like a business grade piece of equipment that costs 20x more money. However this thing frustrates the crap out of me anyway. I am very close to writing a script to reboot the router nightly when no one uses it. It's crazy sad when the guy who says "Have you tried turning it off and on again" is forced to turn it off and on again.....
