I got this router from costco a couple of months ago. I've noticed that the 2.4ghz band is having a lot of issues. My devices keep disconnecting from it and my computer sometimes just says "Connected, no internet". I have to reset the router which fixes the issue each and every time. It happens at least once a day. I bought it from costco so just waiting on a good deal on a different router before I return this one.
Debating on this or spend the extra $'s on Costco's TP-Link AX11000 for $299.
I do not need ultra high speed internet. Don't game etc.
What I do need is reliable connection that doesn't disconnect frequently.
My current Netgear R7000 is fast enough but disconnects several times a day. I've tried all the various fixes people have posted to no avail. All devices are disconnected for 30-60 seconds a few times every day.
Some reviews of this Netgear mention similar issues but reviews for the AX11000 don't seem to have the disconnection problems. Worth spending more $'s for a greater reliability?

Same here. 5 ghz speed and range is awesome but 2.4ghz band is so weird. Sometimes I got under 24Mbps on 100Mbps network just in front of the router, sometimes 40-70Mbps.
Thinking about return or exchange it.
Can I exchange it with out add price if I got this during promotion at Costco or I can only return and rebuy at full price?
I'm debating which router is better on the performance, and reliability? Netgear Nighthawk RAX45 AX4300 was on sale at Costco for $150, and tp-link AX5400 Archer AX73 was on sale $152.
