This is absolutely correct... for me, out of 90 devices, the following experience this exact behavior at the exact same times:
Samsung S8+
Samsung S7e
Samsung S7
Amazon Echo
Amazon Dot (2 of them)
Amazon Tap
Microsoft Surface Pro 3
Microsoft Surface Pro (2017)
Chromecast 2nd Generation
Chromecast 1st Generation (3 of them)
I have another 75 or so devices that do not exhibit this problem. Obviously when the unit completely crashes and reboots 7-8 times per day, they all disconnect and wait for it to boot back up.
Below is chart of an inbound ping that I use to monitor the stability of my network. Each of the "gaps" represents a total router crash.
holy whoa. 90 devices? Are you running a business?
- No, just our home. Ram and CPU utilization were never an issue for my asus ac68 and ac88 routers either. A dash button isn't exactly resource intensive on a router. Nor are most of the devices I have.

That also struck me, expecting a lot of a consumer-level router. At some point, resource exhaustion becomes an issue...
I have 38 static IP DHCP reservations in my router (R7000) at home. Not running a business, just have a lot of devices. 3 printers, 2 home theater PCs, 2 desktop PCs, 3 laptops, a solar meter, 1 chromecast, 1 Fire TV stick, Dish hopper, ooma huv VOIP, Rainforest eagle smartmeter gateway, one tablet, three smartphones, two electric car chargers, one networked AV receiver, one Kindle fire, two single board computers (Raspberry Pi and Odroid X4), one Smart TV, one cell phone booster.
Many of these, like printers and laptops, have the option of either wireless or wired, and I have set reservations for both. But I have been progressively switching everything I could to wired as much as possible, using AV2 powerline ethernet while my Orbi has been out of commission. Have found that to be much more reliable than Wifi.
The devices that are still Wifi-only don't really have a critical need for speed except for one HTPC located very far from my router to do network backups. The backups are way too slow over powerline. They really require Wifi AC speed.
