Multiple times a day we loose communication. This is happening on the laptops (PC) as well as our iPhones. We cannot get the internet to load but the computer or phone will show a wifi connection. If we turn off the wifi and back on again on the device to reconnect it all works again for a while.
This was NOT a cheap system and we spent the extra money to have a strong, reliable signal. Our old router never had this problem but we had too many dead/weak spots in the house so we upgraded to a whole house system
What is going on and how do we resolve this?
I had somewhat the same issue running in AP mode. I ended up changing the ethernet cable and my issue went away.

Ditto (precisely). Not sure if they had a bad run of Ethernet cables or what.
