Nighthawk CAX30 AX2700 Drops network connection randomly

I purchased this router from best buy originally but then saw it cheaper at Costco a week later and swapped em out. Had some issues getting the app to recognize that I was connecting the new router (issues with the app in general). I have a small condo (950 sq ft) fully integrated with smart almost everything. I have 23 devices connected, primarily 2.4ghz, but 3 wired and I really only use 5ghz for my phone and laptop when I’m not at my desk. I don’t know much about all the settings that can be changed online but the only thing I messed with on the app was enabling ipv6 and changing network names. I did check to make sure I was receiving adequate cable power and I am. When connected, everything works pretty great, wired connection at 1000/mbps (paying for 1200) and my Wi-Fi speeds are around 480-600mbps. But my devices and the app seem to go in and out and I really am just getting the impression that this a good all-in one unit for people who want to plug and go and have somewhat fast speeds with a decent amount of devices. The next one up (ax6000) is way too much of a price jump to risk trying to improve performance so I’m thinking about making the switch to a separate modem and router and seeing how that works. Hopefully Costco has a good return policy lol.
