Years ago I plug all my electronics to a surge protector. I have a timer set to off for 5 minutes every night at 2 am. Since then I notice the electronics seems to run much better without hiccups.

As for routers, I would upgrade whenever I have a device that requires better wifi. I upgraded from Linksys (Wifi 5) to TP-Link (Wifi 6). I have my own set of criterias when I go shopping.

It's important you select a secured DNS server and set the router to use it. I have been happy with Quad9. It does not interfere with my corporate VPNs.
