What device are you having issues with it on?

Many people play with settings when they're unsure about what they do. You might be surprised at how well default settings will run sometimes. have you just resetting back to stock and setting up the basic features like the internet connection and just wireless?
Updated the firmware on my router through the settings, because I was looking at it. I am now about two hours into a voice call without audio drop, so I am tentatively optimistic that that may have been my issue. Though prior to the firmware test, my laptop on the wireless network was also not reproducing the issue. The device I primarily use is a Windows 10 PC that is ethernet-wired into the router. Not sure why the laptop would have been free of audio drop with the previous firmware version, but I'll take it.
Thank you for your response!
