I too use a TPLink Archer C7 and find it to be an excellent router. I used to have frequent interruptions and inability to connect to the server when I ran LMS on my Windows 7 then 8 then 10 PC. Since I switched to using a Raspberry Pi 3 running PicorePlayer I have had basically zero issues. The most difficult part for me was getting it to see my music but once I sorted all of that out it has been running perfectly for about a year now. I have occasionally experienced some buffering when playing back some internet radio streams but that could very well be the radio station or brief slow downs in my internet connection causing that problem. In my setup my server that I use as a player also and my primary living room player (an Rpi running picoreplayer connected to a 7 inch touchscreen) are both wired but my bedroom Radio and theater room Classic are wireless. We have four iPads, two iphones and a Kindle Fire that all connect wirelessly without issues. I am not a computer guy and can't speak for technical reasons why but I believe that all of the bloat and background processes that Windows machines are constantly running probably interferes with LMS causing disruptions. Before you go spending gobs of money on Sonos I would at least try running LMS on an Rpi to see if your issues aren't related to your Windows PC.
