I used to get these random stutters and notifications to lower the bitrate often. I researched so many new router options, ranging from $100 to over $500. Then I decided to switch out my stupid ugreen usb wifi dongle for a $30 tp link ax1800 with two antennas, i never get these stutters anymore. My
