Briar keeps Iran connected via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when the internet goes dark

Two new Xfinity techs are here. They took a look at the wording behind the coaxial wall plate; It was ancient and apparently there was an incredible amount of signal noise. They replaced it.
But it's still a mystery as to why rebooting the router fixed the problem about 70% of the time. So we're going to have to wait and see what happens. If it starts crashing again, it may be that the router is being interfered with by electrical noise that's not on the coax, but on the power supply. But it's plugged into a UPS, so that shouldn't be the problem.
It's also possible that one of the four devices connected to the router by Ethernet could be kicking back somehow, but again that's going to take monitoring to figure out.
Right now we're hoping that the problem is solved. They gave us two new CAT 6 cables to connect the modem to the router and the router to my desktop.
And while he was down there, Sebastian discovered several unused USB ports in the back of my computer. Don't know how I missed those before! That makes eight ports total. So now I can hook up several more SSD drives.
Here's hoping this is the end of the matter!

People who know about internets - my WiFi is still dropping (about every 15 mins on video calls for a few seconds regardless of platform).
We have a repeater thingy now that actually works so I have full strength in my room, so it's not that anymore. And the problem has changed/improved.
Do I need to upgrade the WiFi to more faster better stronger?
What is the problem?
Why does it hate me?
We're with Zen full fibre 100.

Asking the Fediverse Hive Mind About WiFi routers:
I'm moving to a home where fibre high speed internet is available.
In order to avoid the monthly fee for the service provider's router, I'd like to provide my own.
Are there brands or models you kind folks would recommend?
I'm looking for something offering a good product at a reasonable price. (WiFi 7 seems worth getting.)
Dependable would also be nice.
Thanks to those who would be kind enough to boost.

WiFi 7 is fast, but WiFi 8 promises higher throughput and lower latency for better stability. The spec won't be finalized until 2028, but Broadcom, MediaTek, and device makers are already showing the first WiFi 8 products, set to launch later this year. https://www.theverge.com/tech/856883/ces-2026-wi-fi-8-asus-broadcom-mediatek #WiFi #WiFi8 #CES2026 #Asus

I've been incredibly happy with the TP-Link Deco stuff.
I have it in my house, my parents house and just upgraded my coworking place with it.. and its amazing!

In #Russia, stray #dogs are getting a side hustle as moving Wi-Fi routers, to increase their chances of getting adopted - not a joke!

FreeBSD Friends!
Anyone that is running 15.0-RC4 have experience with wifi 6 support via the MediaTek MT76 chipset devices?
USB, M2, other? Link to the device you've had success with?
My target is OPNSense when it goes to 15 but may spin up a dedicated mini access point with FreeBSD in the meantime.
Other Wifi6 devices that are compatible with 14 that deliver Wifi6 speeds?
TIA!

donc le "low tech lab" n'a pas eut l'info / l'accès à la culture des réseaux mesh et s'est mis à (ne même pas) réinventer la roue ... mais mince, que c'est il passé /o\
