19.07 is half a decade out of security support and as you encounter problems, upgrade first - they might be fixed already (at the very least a number of bad security issues will be fixed; yes, your customized hardware will required a an updated customized firmware build, but you knew that already).

24.10.x (and newer) generally works fine on this hardware (yes, flash is getting small, but you upgraded that already), so there's no reason not to upgrade.

Given the age of these devices (12+ years) it's not unlikely to see hardware failure as well…

By the way, 4 devices (2 laptops, 2 smartphones) were connected to this router, at first there were problems with the dhcp server, I turned it off and set a static IP for all devices, but then the wi-fi modems started to fall off. Next, I just connected the laptops by wire and connected the smartphones via 2.4Ghz, after which the dumps stopped, wi-fi is stable.
