In addition to the above, what's changed in the last two weeks that's led to you noticing this problem? Have their been any changes to your network that you can think of?

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.Factory reset the router and setup from scratch.
Make sure you change the default DHCP IP address range to 192.168.1.100 to .200

Could you please go to Settings -> Setup -> LAN Setup and change the minimum DHCP value to .100.
Then, reserve IPs for each device in the network. Give them IP addresses between . 2 and .99, so they're out of the DHCP range.
See if you still experience crashes after this.
