I currently need a new router for my small business premises as my broadband/VOIP supplier suspects that the network may be causing issues with the dropouts in service. The line has recently been repaired and checked by Openreach and the drops only occur during opening times, suggesting something in use is causing instability - I would not be surprised if the TP Link router used as a wireless access point has got something to do with it. So, one step at a time, I am going to upgrade my network equipment to try and locate the problem.
I would like opinions on which router would be more suitable for my situation. I have 3 PCs, 3 VOIP phones, a POS card payment machine, Hive hub and a CCTV NVR, all connected by Ethernet. There are up to 4 devices connected by WiFi at any one time, 1 being a rarely used printer. Any future expansion would only include 1 further phone and 1-2 PCs.
As I don’t require any advanced settings such as VPN but do require stability and ability to process VOIP data, I was leaning towards the 2762ac as I feel the 2862ac would be overkill. However if the 2862ac would clearly be the better option I would be willing to stump the extra cash.
Opinions please!
