I've got an Asus that's pretty good still. Just prior to Wifi 6, but the newer variants should have it.

    Jumping on here. The answer is indeed Asus.

    I went through 2 TP-Link devices in as many years. Been using this Asus RT-AC86U for 7 years and counting now with no issues.

    It's funny because I've had this one particular issue with two Asus routers that I manage for family...

    They use this plunger power button design, you push the button in and it toggle locks in to place, the problem is that after a few years whatever mechanism retains the plunger fails and it always springs back and keep the device from staying on. So far the solution has been to cram a paper clip down the housing to hold it in. I just find comedy in having to apply that fix twice.

    I don't see any on their UK site, any models to look for?
