I'm sorry if this question is asked a lot, however I really need some help prior to ordering a new router.

My existing router is a TP Link TLWR340G (PPPoE) (Cable Router) This was provider by my internet provider.

I use this for Streaming Movies to a Samsung Smart TV (UE46ES6300) direct from a Synology 2 Bay NAS. The problem is this router sometime drop the WiFi signal to the TV.

So begs the question
1) Do I stay with a 2.4 GHz Router such as:-
TP-LINK TL-WR841N 300Mbps Wireless N Cable Router

2) Or do I go with a 5GHz Router such as:-
TP-LINK TL-WDR3600 N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Cable Router

Basically I need another TP Link Cable router to replace my ageing TP Link TLWR340G. I would like to stay with TP Link if possible.
I am the first to I am well out of my depth here, so I would really appreciate ANY help.
Thanks in advance
Syd
 
Well I have the WDR3600 and find occasionally it drops all 2.4Ghz Wifi clients, forcing me to reboot. This occurs maybe once a week. I bought it second hand and the fault didn't manifest for at least 6 months. I've tried changing settings and things but it still drops. Otherwise I find it a decent gigabit router, for the price I paid anyway. I don't use the 5Ghz band so can't say whether this fault affects that frequency.
