Netgear R7800 Dropping connection every few minutes

Starting several days ago my nighthawk r7800 has been dropping all connections on both the 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands varying in intermittence from 1-15 minutes, and occuring on all devices, even after a SSID change and only 1 device connected(tried two difference laptops this way to rule out the 1 device, same issue), and even after factory resets of both my modem and router. When this occurs the lights do not appear to change at all on the router, power is steady, internet light blinking, 2.4 and 5ghz lights blinking, and the wifi on/off and wps buttons lit steady. We just moved 3 weeks ago but this was not occuring for the first two weeks so believe its unrelated. Firmware tells me it is up to date V1.0.2.60. The modem is a netgear CM500 and its lights stays normal when it occurs as well and no events are logged in the modems event log(all lights lit steady except link light which is blinking) so pretty sure it's the router. I also checked the signal strength to modem and had around 0mdb+/- 1mb downloads and 51mdb+/-1 uploads, hearing that above 50 may be high(dont think it is for that modem) i removed the splitter and have 6.5 +/-1 mdb down and 46+/-1 mbd up after and seemingly no change at all to the problem. Disconnect is confirmed by often but not always seeing the wifi connection drop then reconnect on my laptop(Doesn't drop visibly in windows 10 every time, have also seen just 1 line of request timed out in cmd prompt then back to normal)

(above pings occured 14:19:xx, below log taken awhile after,  the DHCP IP to mac adress events occur when the interuption is long enough to drop the connection from my laptop i believe, and i do not think the first remote access caused a interuption but the one at 14:35:47 did occur around or at an interuption will continue to see if theres a link but don't think so, but do not know what that remote access is)

I really don't know what to do at this point, I'm starting to contemplate replacing the router but will wait till someone more knowledgable reccomends that... it is between 1-15minute intervals nonstop never a respite from that, but started all of a sudden out of the blue first two weeks at this new address were fine, factory resets and dropping to 1 device and then changing that 1 device to be sure have not isolated it, i'm out of ideas! thanks again for any help!
