Disable ipv6 in router. Those app are looking for ipv6 and the router stops passing traffic with it on android devices randomly. Its a known problem. Usually turning wifi on and off on the phone gets it working again for a bit. That is till it stops working again. I have had the same issue for months on my 770 system. 870 has same issue. The only other thing you can do is download the warp app from cloudflare off the android store. The vpn will make ipv6 work even if your ISP doesnt support it but I have noticed the dl speeds are not as fast as without it. Right now I just have ipv6 disabled myself till netgear figures out ipv6.
