Yea.....I think I found my problem....the VZ router just couldn't handle the # of devices.

Ran to Best Buy and picked up the Google WiFi setup last night. It is the cheapest option for a mesh network.
The UI for the Google WiFi is pretty simple and cool. The wife and I can easily trouble shoot connection problems. Way better than logging into the crap UI VZ has for their router. The easy to use Parental controls should come in handy. Being able to prioritize devices is nice.
I can also easily see what's connected and trolling bandwidth in real time.
So far my only complaint is I lost IP control of the TV in the living room through my Harmony Hub.
Since it is one SSID but two bands, the devices bounce between 2.4 and 5 depending on strength of signal. The hub only does 2.4, and the TV is sticking with 5. Because of them not being on the same band, the IP function wouldn't work.
No biggie as I have the Hubs IR blaster out controlling the sound bar anyway, so I just told the hub to control the TV via IR as well.
A+, would recommend.
