Hi and thank you for your response.
Yes, every device that gets internet from the router, wired, 2.4GHz & 5GHz WiFi is affected. I've got 5 computers (all hard-wired), 4 iPhones, 1 printer.
I'm not sure if my thermostat works with the app or not (remember, I have to 1) notice it, and 2) try things within 60 seconds).
I probably mispoke by saying DNS, where I got that from is that every webpage that fails to load, refresh errors out saying "DNS Probe Started".
Next time it happens, I'll try pinging Google.com and let you know if that works.
I've never heard of a 60 second disconnect due to the router checking for updates but if that is the case then on the firmware update page you can disable automatic updates which would in theory resolve that.
It's much more likely though that the DHCP lease is being renewed, check the logs on the System Information page after it happens and see if you can see entries relating to this. If so then reserve IP addresses for your devices on the router and it should help.
