IP address renewal happens all the time on networks. A renewal of IP address of the WAN interface on the router should not cause a pause in the IPTV. I would look at the router and specifically the router firmware. It might be worth the effort to go to an older version of the firmware. Do you know of a version that seemed to work for you? If so I would reinstall that. You could try a hard reset, but not really sure what that would accomplish in this case, but who knows?

Qos is enabled. I've had the R7000 and never had issues with streaming with the same IPTV service that i've had for years now. Same speed I've always had from ISP. I've never had issues streaming/multiple devices on my network all running at once, ever, till now.
I'm personally thinking that the router as robust as the AC3200 R8000 should be able to handle an IP address renewal at HALF interval without loss of any connection before it fully expires and actually loses connection without IP renewal period. I mean nothing is actually changing since the IP address isnt actually running out for another 6hrs AFTER the half way renewal. IF anything, it should be once a day IF my ip addy changed but it doesn't.
