Is it only wifi dropping? 

do wired devices drop?

Did you try a factory reset?

      Whenever theres an issue after a firmware change (might have auto-upgraded) a factory reset and new install (not using a backup configuration) is the first thing I try.

        Completed factory reset and reinstalled firmware. Still drops Wifi but not as often, once it dropped the wired computers also and had to reboot router
