The three routers were from different ISPs. In fact one was not provided 
by an ISP but rather was an older unit that I installed DD-WRT onto and 
used it to provide an inner network separate from the one talking 
directly to the ISP that I connected third-party devices to (thermostat, 
solar panels, roomba). It died after a few months so now I'm connecting 
directly through the ISP's router/modem again.

Prior to that I had a different router/modem from a different ISP.

My laptop connects with both wireless and wired connections.
