PC disconnects internet everyday at same time

My PC loses internet connection every day at about the same time while being used, usually between 6-6:30am. It is connected via wifi to brand new Cox Panoramic (Technicolor) router, located about 20 ft away in another room. This is the first time – ever – I have had my PC on wifi. Previously, it had always been wired via ethernet to various DSL routers.  New router is hard wired to TV/Roku located 20 ft away in another room. PC wifi connection is generally stable at 180 Mbps. 

I have tried troubleshooting and have taken following steps:

Set to Private Network

Connect automatically when in range = On

Pwr mgmt = Off/not clicked on/does not allow PC turn off

Drivers updated  [RealTek RTL8822BE 802.11ac PCIe Adapter] DHCP & Autoconfig both enabledo

Services > WLAN Autoconfig = Set to Automatic

Scanned for malware/viri = no problems detected

Using <ipconfig /all | find “Lease”> this morning, Wed 2/10/2021, I got:

Lease obtained…………………………Wednesday, February 10, 2021   3:44:29 AM

Lease expired……………………………Wednesday, February 17, 2021   3:44:29 AM

Lease obtained…………………………Monday, February 8, 2021   8:29:36 AM

Lease expired……………………………Friday, February 12, 2021    6:37:19 AM

Turned router off and on at least 2-3x during course of the week

 

Still, no solution. I have to open Network and Sharing Center and do a manual re-connect each time.  Is there anything else I can do?
