I'm experiencing the same issue, is there a fix or workaround. I only had this router for 1 day and I'm getting ready to retun to Best Buy. My desktop gets a 169.xxx.xxx ip address for about 3 minutes after boot-up and my Nest cameras keep getting disconnected randomly through out the day. My old Nighthawk R7000 had better Wi-fi connectivity.

What FW is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?How is your PC connected? wireless or wired?
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?

I seem to be experiencing a similar issue I have my Xbox one X wired in to port 1. If I power cycle my router the port works normally but when I shut off my Xbox for the night and turn on the next day. It the Xbox will no longer be connected to the internet, when I try to connect Xbox gives me error message cant connect to router/internet. I the have to restart my router for the port to work again.
Wireless seems to be unaffected and works fine.
really hope can help with issues this router is too expensive to be having issues like this :(
I also switch my Xbox for. The instant on mode to the energy save mode just encase that is the issues since I seen there is a issue with the Xbox’s and this router when in that mode.
