What is it about wireless routers that makes them stop working correctly after about two years? That has been my experience. I feel like an old laptop doing the same job would last longer.
Yes, I learned it is best to avoid any crapware with completely closed down firmware which doesn't get more updates after year or two.
I still use 10 years old Tp-link wifi 300Mbps router on Openwrt/LUCI to cover my house upstairs.
Now I am in a search of router/AP for downstairs to replace crappy ISP's one. My criteria: 8 LAN ports and OpenWRT compatible for another decade.
