Edit: I might play around with the dual band settings, and see if I can get stable performance with 2.4 and 5ghz enabled, but that sounds like a vacation kind of thing. ALSO, one thing I failed to mention, is that the wifi started getting REALLY bad after I set up a google home mini. I wonder if that was doing some of the overloading on the 5ghz band that seems to be the achilles heel of this router.
Meh. I wouldn't invest too much time in it. Follow the thread in the tp-link support forum to the last page. It's still active.

My old WRT54GL is a friggin' tank. Been chugging away for almost 10 years now.
