What router model do you have? R####?
What FW is loaded?
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try a factory reset and setup from scratch then save off a backup configuration to file:

Firmware is V1.2.0.92_1.0.1. Router model is Nighthawk AC2400. I don't see an R# anywhere on the router. I had just changed the channel to 7 today for 2.4 and 153 for 5g but that didn't help. I have wifi neighbors nearby but nothing crazy close, I'd say about 300 ft. Using WPA2-PSK [AES] if that matters. Going to try these channels and see if it works, if not I'm going to do a factory reset again and make a backup.
