R6080 keeps dropping WiFi
Ever since last night my router won’t hold a connection for more than 5 minutes, I’ve tried resetting it, factory resetting it, unplugging it and moving it, changing the ssid, idk what to do but nothing has worked

What modem/gateway do you have?
what firmware is on the router?
does it happen to all devices? wired and wireless?
What actually happens? do devices say "connected, no internet"? Does wifi stop broadcasting entirely? Does it broadcast but you can't connect? Details are key in helping out.
- It says connected to house network but not internet this is on my Phillips smart TVs and also my Alexa says it can’t connect

How are they connecting? Wired? Wifi?
Is there anything there that does connect?
What do the LEDs on your R6080 look like?
As plemans asked:

what firmware is on the router?We know that things aren't connecting. We need to dig deeper and to work out what and why. So tell us more.
Have you tried this?
- Turn off and unplug modem.
- Turn off router and computers.
- Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on computers and rest of network.

Connection to what?
The Internet? Wifi? Wired things?
What happens? What the LEDs on the R6080 look like when this happens?
