Had the same problem on this firmware. 1st 5Ghz channel kept dropping. Updated to the latest Version 1.4.3.88 and the problem vanished. Both 5Ghz channels are solid, and have been overnight.
Everything was good for about 36 hours and then I started having connectivity drops. My one software I use for work keeps reporting no internet connection. I have to change to a different connection or repair. It's bizarre. I loaded the new .88 firmware and did a full factory reset and started fresh. Still having issues.
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Are you wired or wireless connected when you see this?

It's a Spectrum Technicolor Model E31T2V1
I have had to go back to my DGND4000 as it has zero issues with it and runs perfectly stable
I have tried both wired and wireless and have the same issues
Does the internet LED on the R8000P show as amber when this happens?
That model modem is not the best modem.
What is the CAT# LAN cable between the modem and router? CAT6 is recommended.
Have the ISP check the signal and line quality UP to the modem. Be sure the ISP provisions the modem correctly.
Be sure there are no coax cable line splitters in the between the modem and ISP service box.
Be sure your using good quality RG6 coax cable up to the modem.
Be sure to power OFF the modem for 1 minute then back ON.

Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
