Q: iPad Air 2 Wifi keeps dropping

Both my iPad Air 2 and iPhone 6 keep dropping my wifi connection after a few minutes of use, My iPhone 5s doesn't have this problem. iOS has been updated. Router is the NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 Dual Band Wi-Fi Gigabit Router (R7000). Expensive router and I'm not about the get another one. I've tried playing with the channels, frequency's. Nothing seems to help.

iPad Air, iOS 8.1.3, iPad Air 2

My iPad air is doing the same thing right now. So frustrating. I just had the iMessage and FaceTime issues resolved, now this! What's next!

I tried the suggestions in the apple support article, nothing helps. My connection is constantly freezing. I am still connected to the router, just no internet unless I disconnect from wi-fi and reconnect (either via airplane mode or another network). Happens constantly. I've tried to change the 2.4/5Ghz band, frequencies. Tried disabling the 5Ghz band. Tried playing with DNS/IP settings. Nothing works. Same issues everyone was complaining about last October but was supposedly fixed with iOS 8.1.1 or 8.1.2. iPhone 5s and my Dell laptop have absolutely no issues with the connections. It is definitely the newer models (ipad air 2 / iphone 6).
