If a wireless deivce can't associate and establish the communication to a wireless access point (here on the router) it won't get a valid/workable network config - subsequently, everything else will fail. Trying to fix an IP address could proof - choose any unused one (see Attached Devices) - could proof. But serioulsy, I doubt this will help anything - and create more troubles when being on the road with the mobile/tablet/laptop.

The firmware of my router is: V1.0.9.12
Netgear went through several iterations since to recover from various connectivity issues, check https://www.netgear.com/support/product/r7000.aspx for the current firmware download, as of writing it's 1.0.9.28.
check on your tablets to see whether they are getting a DHCP address assigned on your network, I've been having issues lately where my devices either aren't being assigned an IP address or are being assigned one on the wrong network, and have had to go in and set static IP addresses on them. This has particularly gotten bad after upgrading to firmware V1.0.1.44_10.0.28 on my R6900.
