It's pretty obvious that 2 and 3 are a big problem. I'd pay significantly more for a router that I can guarantee works reliably (cost doesn't seem to make a difference for consumer router reliability); find a way to advertise that and I'll love you forever. Make packet loss and latency on a variety of popular hardware / OS (with default settings) THE key metric.

Protip: if you are willing to pay more for reliability, buy Ubiquiti (or other enterprise class) hardware. It's actually not that much more expensive, and you get great features like PoE, design/color ment to be invisible, and great handover between multiple APs if you have a large house.
