I realize the last week because a reddit post, that could be the MU-MIMO feature that is enabled in router. I turned off and everything started working as it should. BUT, when past 1 day, it starts to "fail" again, and the feature in the router is turned off. What I have to do, is enable again and reset the router. That´s my workaround so far but I don't know how to fix it definitely.
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

Afterwards, set MU-MIMO to enabled.
Set manual channels to 1 and 40.
Be sure that Smart Connect is enabled.
Be sure to disable any MAC Address randomizers on phones and pads while at home:
