I just brought a new TP-Link (Omada brand) to replace a (also fairly new) D-Link router that would just stop working, every couple of weeks; requiring a reboot.

The performance of my network immediately jumped up.

The D-Link might have a hardware issue (but it’s not worth trying to get them to address it, as it’s intermittent by weeks, and they’ll just gaslight me, if I try), or it could just be crap firmware. A lot of hardware companies treat their firmware teams like shit.

Doesn’t matter. I’m avoiding their routers, in the future. I have had good luck with their switches, though.
