I personally notice the issue when Wifi calling is on. Sometimes the call will go silent for 2-3 seconds then pick back up. Perhaps the drops are so minor that they don't get logged?

Would DD-RT or some other firmware work better than the Asus firmware?

Thanks,

Is your router firmware up to date? Are the wireless drivers for the devices that connect (especially if they are laptops/Windows) up to date?

When it happens, does everyone at home experience the issue simultaneously?

If the daughter gets dropped, but you or the wife or streaming netflix/hulu/whatever keeps working fine, then it's not likely to be a router issue. If 2 or 3 or more people/streams/services are impacted simultaneously, then it's more likely the router/ISP/interference.

Is there anything in common when they notice the issue? Ie, "Doc, every time a touch my elbow it hurts" kind of thing. (they probably don't think about that, but it is worth checking).

Does it happen more certain times of day than others or when doing certain things (wifi calls, netflix, streaming music, whatever)?
