- However, I also experience intermittent connectivity problems which
look like dropped packets: Frozen ssh connections, web pages that spin
forever but when you hit reload they load immediately, etc. These
could be either my ISP or my router, I suspect some of both. But I
STRONGLY suspect that it's my router's fault at least some of the
time.
For those and other reasons, I want a new router. I don't know which
one though. Here's what I want in my new router, listed roughly from
most to least important:
- MUST be completely reliable. No dropped packets, no locked up ssh
sessions, no mysterious periods of lousy performance, none of that
crap. If any of that bad stuff happens I want 99.9% confidence that
the problem is UPSTREAM of my router (modem or ISP), NOT the fault of
my router.
