Working from home Nighthawk X6

We replaced old netgear router with a new Nighthawk X6 since the old one continued disconnected through out the day. It made it very difficult to work from home.

Is there any way to prioritize a connection so the router will not disconnect it or reset through out the day

    Which model?

    Firmware on it? 

    What modem are you using? 

    What speeds do you pay for? 

    If its >250mbps, then qos isn't recommended. 

    Is the new one resetting? 

    What device is disconnecting? 
    Is it connected via 2.4ghz, 5ghz, or wired?
