I am but so far not permanent solution to my problem, I still keep having connection problems, and nothing they suggest is helping, $250 down the drain.

Can you try channels 1, 40 and 69?
Is Smart Connect enabled or disabled?
Try Cloudfare or Quad9 custom IPv4 DNS.
Disable Protection Engine on the routers web page if seen there.
This only happens with wireless devices. No issues with ethernet?
If nothing else helps, then you might just return it and find something else as we don't know when a fix would be forth coming.

Try Cloudfare or Quad9 custom IPv4 DNS.: I am using cloudfare 1.1.1.1/1.0.0.1
Disable Protection Engine on the routers web page if seen there. Protection Engine is off.
This only happens with wireless devices. No issues with ethernet? Both lag at the same time and come back online at the same time. There is days where connection is perfect with no lag spikes and some days WAN and LAN just keep disconnecting so much that i just take my devices off WAN because my mobiles internet has better connection.
