What is the best router in terms of price / quality ratio for the home?
Good afternoon.
I want to change my home router, I'm looking for something not too expensive, but functional enough. The main requirements are high stability and stability when working with multiple devices (bitter experience with the D-Link DIR-320 shows that it does not pull out three computers, two tablets, a phone and two TVs at the same time, as well as a smaller number of devices).
Of course, I would like additional functionality, but still it is slightly secondary.
I looked towards the Zyxel Keenetic II, is it a worthwhile router? The price is a bit high, but they say it's worth it.
Current state of affairs:
From the provider - 100 megabits is real, I checked it by direct connection to the cable.
Роутер умеет только 802.11g, но часть устройств поддерживает и 802.11n, потому рассчитываю на такой стандарт. Ну, и соответственно, скорость хочется получить максимально возможную.

А не вытягивает - это во-первых, иногда не дает подключиться устройствам (вручную прописано соответствие ip-mac, но, не смотря на это, иногда приходится просто снимать там галки, чтобы ip раздавался через dhcp).
Secondly, connection drops periodically begin - at this time, ping gives almost 50% losses, and between them there can be ping jumps up to 1000ms and higher. This happens most often with a heavy load on the network - in the evenings, when everything turns on, and extends to connecting both via wi-fi and via cable.
Plus, recently the router sometimes just freezes and the network becomes unavailable on all devices at once - you have to hard reboot it.
UPD:
After discussion, I made a list for further selection.
TP-LINK TL-WDR3500
TP-LINK TL-WDR3600
TP-LINK TL-WDR4300
ASUS RT-N53
Zyxel Keenetic II (does not support 5GHz)
Thank you all for your replies.
If someone is ready to deal with the settings, it’s worth looking towards MikroTik, but I don’t see such readiness in myself yet.

Check out Mikrotik. Here is habrahabr.ru/post/185230 pros and cons.
zyxel keenetic lite ii
I receive 20 Mbps from the provider, the speed is 15 meters from the router on the beech 18 Mbps. As I think, it’s not bad at all, given that there are 6 more networks that interfere with mine.
I would not take any of the above ... I have already played so much of this "shit". As a result, I have Linksys at home. Old Netgear and TPlink went to friends and relatives, where speed and stability are not as critical as to me.
Yes, Linksys/CISCO is more expensive, but as practice has shown, it is reliable. And I was tired of buying a new router in the hope that it would work stably, but it turned out to be UG.
At work I placed Mikrotiks. In terms of reliability, network functionality and price, there are no analogues even close. But if you set them up in "manual" mode, then for a beginner it will be hell. Although in general in the new versions of the firmware there is a "setup wizard" that sets up literally in 2 clicks.
TP-LINK TL-WDR3500 - if 100 Mb of ports are enough
TP-LINK TL-WDR3600 - this one is better, and higher models, gigabit ports, firmware is better than OpenWRT
It is advisable to check the router's memory after purchase - forum.ixbt.com/topic.cgi?id =14:59307:4617#4617
