Router problems?

Hey! I have a router problem. On last saturday, i got the new 1000mbit/s internet in my house. My ISP(called Digi, in Hungary .) Gave me a Huawei(Huawei EchoLife HG8242-B,) modem/router(?). I bought on monday a new TP link AC1200. BUt i was experiencing internet drop issues. (it lost connection after 30mins, and keeps doing that in that interval.) So I called my ISP, they came to my house on wednesday, and told that, the problem is in my router. So i took it back to the shop, and bought a new TP link AC1750 V4.0 on Thursday. But the problem still appear, and I've tried everything. Dhcp change, MTU size change, frimware upgrade/downgrade, DNS change but it still drops the connection on WIRED. The problem appears on every WIRED computer, at the same time. Before first my ISP came to my house, the Huawei was in Dinamic IP mode, but my ISP changed that to bridge mode, so now the connection is now, a PPOPE one. Problem still appears, every time, and ISP keep saying, there is no fault at their end. But it'S possible to get 2 wrong router? My ISP will come today too.  SO what should i change  to finally forget this problem?
The strange  thing is , from an old TP link 941N router, everything works fine.
Now, what could be the issue?

First enable / check logs on the router(s).  
Just to determine WHAT is going on, after that you can decide where the problem is...
Statistics are of no/little use now.

 The router in bridge mode won't do a lot. Be aware there can be MTU based problems on PPPoE as the PPP protocol needs some room. (PMTU enabling on PC's might help).  BTW, you will have PPP links with the same limits also if no bridge mode is used.
Hi,

Have you tried using the router without adding a second router to it? Does the problem exist still?

Have you changed the cable which is used to connect the second router to the first?

Thanks,

David
TP-link is known to drop packets I have bunch of them and actually bought a different brand of router- in today's grand scheme of things you need a router with a 2gigabit processor in it. However (i do not work for any router manufacture) but the best wifi on the market is the ubiquity WiFi access point. They just work.
