It could be a cause of you and a neighboring person using the same wifi channel. If you have an android phone there is a tool to detect nearby router channels being used. Figure out what they are using and try to change your channel accordingly. For example, if you and  a neighbor are using channel 7, switch your channel to something like 1 or 2, where neighboring channels in that spectrum wont interfere and cause a drop out. Another thing to consider is distance or things in between you and the router. If the channel issue isnt a cause then consider that distance. If distance is the issue consider setting up a repeater or access points. I think one thing that can also cause poor performance is having a router plugged into a strip of many other power hungry devices. Since routers can require less power, the heavy power consuming devices are going to draw harder and therefore cause your router to have less of the power it needs, this may cause devices (such as a transmitter) to drop out or have poor ability to broadcast.

Is there an option to reserve an IP under the device manager? I’m not at my router otherwise I could help you a lot more. I’d look somewhere where there’s a device manager or under the settings and network area under dhcp. Usually there is a method to set an IP to static. I know it the old firmware you could do it.

Yes there is an option, but what I do? I simply change the ip to one I want and that isn't already in use??

Go to the Device Manager and make a note of the IP addresses for those devices. Next go to Settings on the LAN panel. Under DHCP you can see your devices listed, tick the devices and then enter the IP addresses you noted before and then apply. Let us know how you get on after that.

this just happened to me last night two times. Everything would stream fine then all of a sudden it said I had no internet connection (but i really did) It was definitely R1 side because a reboot fixed it only temporarially. I feel like its related to something in the Qos. I just dont know what because i didnt see the logs when it happened to record it.

If you look under Traffic Prioritization do you see a lot of high priority packets for download and upload, download specifically? If so that could indicate there is high bandwidth applications being prioritized which could cause issues.

Turn auto updates off, with Apple you always need to turn them off as they have a nasty habit of doing stuff that you don’t want to lose .

I take it you have a backup? What version of iOS are you using and do yoiu have a mac running at least High Sierra? If so do a DFU restore. Turn off Auto updates and make sure you manually update yourself. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201263
