Internet completely dropping

For the past 2 days my RAX120 Router is completely dropping ALL internet activity from all connected devices. When I reboot the router it works for maybe 15-30 minutes then drops all connections again...

Jimpilot5, you may be interested in messages #64 and #84 in RAX120 Router Random Disconnects which discuss the recent adoption of encrypted DNS-over-HTTPS by Firefox.

Thank you but not nor never have used Firefox. I did see a reference to windows new browser going to it which I do use. Also using Safari on the iPads. 

Would hard selecting DNS servers help this?  I'm on the edge of my knowledge here, anyone who understands and want to explain will be appreciated

      By the way does the fire stick use a form of VPN to connect maybe?

        No I don’t use vpns on my fire sticks unless amazon uses something because all my amazon stuff stays connected but nothing else but I have never installed a vpn nor paid for one ever
