Hi, I am looking for Router.

Currently I own Zyxel NBG-416N which is really old basic router that works on 2.4GHz and the problem is that I am getting constant disconnects and I suspect that it is because of the sheer amount of devices that work on the same frequency which are in the range.

I installed Wi-Fi Analyzer on moms Android tablet as that is the only Android device we have at home and I found around 16-20 devices that use 2.4GHz of which around 3-4 share the same channel as my router. Other channels are no option as they are a total mess.

On 5GHz I found only 1 device.

 

I know just very little about routers or any networking stuff in general and I wonder if this is really the cause of disconnects or if it is truly because of the amount of devices at 2.4GHz and if I should go and buy new router.

And if yes, what router should I go for? I would like it to be less than 50€. My PC is always connected trough ethernet and wifi will only serve for casual web browsing on notebook, 3 phones, tablet and TV. Signal will go trough 2 walls about 20cm thick (brick walls).

With that buget the offer becomes a little limited, so I have selected two routers that are in my opinion a good choice, 300Mbps at 2.4Ghz and 300/433Mbps at 5Ghz you will have no issues, and the range should be alright as well.
