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.
Idk. My Asus always overheats and just dies. My tplink has always been stable and gives me no issues whatsoever. I run two now as a mesh and works great even in the toilet.
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.
