Have to reset my router to recovery wifi signal and re boot face time on iphone4s.

Question

Have to reset my router to recovery wifi signal and re boot face time on iphone4s.
Scenario1:
1/ Mac Pro. Iphone4s connected to my home wifi
2/ Face time call coming
3/ Pick up by Mac Pro.
No issue found.
Scenario2:
1/ Mac Pro. Iphone4s connected to my home wifi
2/ Face time call coming
3/ Pick up by Iphone4s.
4/ call auto drop off  within 1 min chatting
5/ Wifi signal on both iphone4s and Mac Pro were found gone
6/ Reset router ( always show “cannot join XX network” unless reset router at least 1 time)
7/ Wifi signal will available after 5 ~10mins,
8/ Face time via iphone4S again, almost no problem….
Suppose it is a compatibility issue of iphone4s and TP-link router?
I already suffered the iphone4S face time drop off issue for more than 2 week…  Hope it can be fixed soon….

I agree with @sabretooth. The connection status showing 100Mbps is only the local Ethernet network speed and since your router uses the Wireless-G technology, then you can get a maximum of 54Mbps for the wireless network speed. This network speed is significant when communicating within the local network of the router but it is still the 10Mbps internet subscription speed that is used when sending and receiving data or information through the internet.
It seems you’re experiencing a dropping connection and it would be better to isolate the issue before buying another router. Connect a computer wired directly to your Arris modem and observe the connection. If connection is good then it will give you a hint that it’s a possible router issue. You can then press and hold the reset button on the router for 30 seconds, power cycle, reconfigure the internet connection and check if the problem persists.
