I had the same problem, exacerbated whenever I used my microwave. Once I changed some router settings as below, I haven’t lost connection for days now. Obviously, it’s not a real fix for the long run but may help pinpoint what about the firmware is flawed:

> @DRCO , could it be a router issue?? I'm using an ASUS RT-AC56U with 5GHZ not enabled. You don't happen to be using this model, do you? I hope I'm not speaking too soon, but I may have solved the problem for me by another iteration of the reconnect...
