Are your browsers set to use the OS DNS (which comes from the XR1000)? Or are they set to use DoH?
If they are using the OS DNS, you should try changing that and see if it makes any difference. If it doesn't, then that rules out DNS.
You might also try running some long-duration ping test, (pinging 8.8.8.8 ) and see if how often that fails to get a response.
