If you're near an area with radar, whenever it picks up radar, it has to switch of dfs channels. It can cause drops/irregularity in service if your in one of those areas .
Another thing you can try is the R8000P is the backbone of the system. Maybe its having issues on that firmware. the firmware I'd recommend is 1.4.1.42 for that router.

You already have the EX7500? Its fairly solid with a decent firmware.
which version are you on of the firmware?
What 5ghz band are you using for the backhaul? The higher bands or the lower bands?
