My Parents’ WiFi keeps disconnecting on their computer.

Nothing you've said provides much information of use, the Ethernet "Played up"? What do you mean played up, its a cable. Then the Wi-Fi dongle "Played up"? What does this mean?

The glazing has to stop

you don’t even need a wifi 7 router technically. i’m still on a 3-pack of Deco M5’s that i bought 4 years ago so it’s at least that old. any decent router from the last 5 (maybe even 10) years is probably fine.

Deco M5 upgrade

I’m also running the deco m5 for close to 10 years as well. I have asked myself this same question many times before Answer. If you isn’t broken don’t fix it Unless cash isn’t an issue then go for it.
