RBK753 and iPhone No Internet

I have an RBK753 that has worked for 3 months but the last week or so the 2 iPhones in the house lose internet connection constantly. WiFi is fine as are all the rest of the devices in the house. I turn WiFi on the phone off and on which corrects it about 10% of the time, the rest of the time I reset my phone and that works about 30% of the time. I have no solution except return them to Costco for a better brand. I see online, people talking about DNS issues and Orbi firmware with no solution except Netgear fixing it. Anyone have any ideas? I need a 100% reliable router for work purposes and this is not it at the moment. I'm on the latest firmware, 4.6.5.14, on the router and satellites.  Armour is not on. I use a Motorola Cable modem but, as I said, only the iPhones are affected so I doubt it's related to provider or modem. The problem also happened before I updated to current firmware 2 days ago. I did a full factory reset yesterday and it's gotten worse. Thanks in advance for any help.

Try disabling AX mode on 2.4Ghz.

Make sure WMM is enabled. Change CTS values to 2347 Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

Try using channel 40 on 5Ghz. 

 

You may need to factory reset the system and power the system OFF as well.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I haven't been home to test it but I've done all that you said. WMM was already enabled.  I'll update later tonight or tomorrow.
