First issue is Linksys, which is now owned by Belkin. They were best known for their WRT54G wireless router from the early 2000s, but have taken a drastic decrease in quality ever since.
Some things to check:
1. Check the router's system logs for any signs of trouble (e.g. RF signal restart, etc)
2. Run a continuous background check to determine the source of the issue:
A. ping google.com -t
B. ping <router_IP_address> -t (e.g. 192.168.1.1)
C. connect a device via wired ethernet and run ping google.com -t
Note: macOS doesn't require the -t parameter.
3. Check your household for sources of RF signal interference (RFI). Some common offenders are clothes dryer and microwave oven. Re-position the WAP as close to the ceiling as possible.
