R7000P drops connection every 2 hours

[Nighthawk Pro Gaming]

The model is R7000P not R7000, but it wouldn't let me select it.

 

 

This ticket describes the problem to the T of what I'm having.  Not only does it drop my IRC connections, but it drops my SSH connects as well.  I'm a developer and work from home so it is way more than a minor annoyance.

There is no solution there.  I can't find a solution anywhere.  I've updated firmware, checked DHCP release timings (they're set for 2 days).  Done everything!
