In the case of the printers, are you sure they are losing connectivity to the network, or are you losing the ability to connect to them, from a PC for instance. My HP and Brother printers both require static IP's in order to be accessed consistently.

Funny, I have a Brother printer(MFC-J470DW) and it doesn't require a static. I just look up the IP on my router's network map and enter that IP into a browser. Maybe you mean for a direct connection to the printer?

It's not required but DHCP can lose the mapping to the printer manager of the printer. The first step to troubleshoot is a static address.
I'm unsure about the DVR...perhaps an IP conflict with the printer and Contour can't inform you of the conflict.

What model router do you have? Do they lose connection to the network or just go offline?

Panoramic Wifi Gateway
Brand: TECHNICOLOR
Model: CGM4331COM
They go offline.

Do they go offline at the same time while other devices are online? If so, that is weird. I wish we could see the router logs to tell what's happening. Also, does it happen every 2 hours? If so, I wonder if it could be related to the DHCP lease.
