I often get kicked off this wireless router when doing a simple google search. Usually there are 10 devices connected to the router (TVs, laptops, phones, etc). But when it’s only 5 devices, everything works fine. Is it time for an upgraded router? null

The device is a minimal use device. Not intended for large 9 or more connections at a time. Remember everybody who walks into your space likely has a phone or and a second wifi device. All want connection. You need to spend $100 and more to get reasonable concurrent users with reasonable speeds.

Either that, or a Range Extender... I have no problem with this NETGEAR N600 , but that's because I only use one or occasionally two devices at a time.

10 devices streaming content will always put stress on any router. The router most likely boots you because your device does not hold priority over others. Go into the router settings through the internet portal, and adjust the priority settings of your devices to the highest tier. This will ensure that your devices will always be connected. You can always go buy more commercial oriented routers that can support more than 10, but changing your priority settings will save you some money.

I would look for a mu-mimo router. It has the ability to send a constant and consistent signal.
