Hi I went back to .64 firmware as everyone was suggesting this cures the WiFi dropouts
but in my case this made it worse nothing connecting WiFi and lan dropouts
so I went back to .80 firmware so far all good
no reboot for a week and no dropouts

May also help to make sure you are only on one wifi network and Android isn't toggling between 2.4 and 5G. I found my phone was getting stuck on 2.4 and running slow.
