Well, right from the start it's not the price here that it was when they reviewed it on April 21, 2021. At the high price, ​it "left us wanting more consistent performance". But, what about at half price?
Also, their test was using a 300 Mbps network, and the only other issues they had was the physical size and the 2.4 GHz network bandwidth and how it performed when they stress tested (playing a game while simultaneously streaming ten 8k videos) it on a 300 Mbps network. Didn't exactly extensively test it at the router's higher end specs, such as using a Gigabit or 2 Gigabit network. How about 8 people gaming simultaneously? How about listing what potential obstacles they had when testing the "far" distance? How many other 2.4 GHz devices are pounding away in their airspace during the test? Hardly scientific, thorough, or conclusive.
If you don't care about the size (which is hard to avoid when there are EIGHT ethernet ports and it's TRI-BAND), or 2.4 GHz, what exactly is the reason to avoid this?

100% agree. I've only used TP-Link for my home and my clients for 8+ years. Extremely reliable and easy to manage and maintain. Archer C7, C9; Deco M5, M9 Plus.
Been looking for a good wireless setup for a long time but gave up a few years ago as I would get random freezes ingame. I switched to Ethernet but unfortunately it looks ugly running a 50 ft wire around the room lol
You might not notice when your device reconnect few times a day, but e.g. faulity hardware like Ring Alarm will have issues as that one often hungs after dropping connection. That's another documented issue that Ring just doesn't want to solve but in my case it resulted in having to return this router.
Then go to devices in the UI and check off priority high for the printer ip.

You either have a bunch of 2.4 Ghz routers on top of the same channel, or it's a genuine router software issue. Troubleshoot a bit, and report back
The 5 Ghz band is way less crowded, and there are DFS (radar) channels, which a lot of 5Ghz devices don't actually support! See, for example, this:
For the Fire Stick to work on a 5GHz frequency, you need to change the Wi-Fi channel to channels between 149 to 165, or channels between 36 to 48

You can use these DFS channels to avoid the crowd even further if your relevant devices support that.
I had one last month and my C4000 or A20 from Costco crapped out. Random disconnect etc. It messed up the RJ45 jacks from what I can tell as the modem was perfectly fine
Thankfully costco took the return
