I have had some problems with the connection to my RT-AC87U the past few days.
It started when I made a network bridge, between my ethernet adapter and USB WiFi dongle. I wanted to test whether it would give me more bandwidth (which it didn't weirdly) so I deleted it, removed the dongle and just continued using my ethernet connection. When I started my computer the next morning the connection worked fine for about half a minute, then it stopped and after about a minute it came back. I was confused but just accepted it. This went on for about a week. This morning is started my computer, as usual, but then I heard my sister asking if the internet was down for me as well. This got me curious, so I did some tests and it turns out, that when I start my computer, the router restarts for some reason. I'm not sure if I can call it restart since it seems to continue running but turns off the WiFi and the wired connections are interrupted.

I am clueless to what could cause this behavior and am really desperate to find out since it seems, that this isn't at all normal for a router to do such a thing.
 
Solution
Try uninstalling the network driver and resetting the router from the router reset button (you'd have to reconfigure the Internet connection afterwards, so make sure that you know the settings). Then reinstall the network driver,
