So Above is a copy/paste from the log with some info removed but you get the idea. Anytime I get this and I get this throughout the day randomly my "wifi Will not loose connection but will "hang" what I mean by this is example if I'm in a game everything will freeze in place characters etc then I will rubberband back and everything will go super speed ping will jump 500+ms etc. IT's like the Wifi connection is "paused then resumes": I'm guessing until it gets the "update/refresh" This is getting annoying as hell how can I fix this?

Router is AC88U Running Merlin 380.66 Beta 3. (happens on all other previous versions)

PC Is running W10 Creators Update with the Rampage V extreme 3x3 Built in Wifi Connected on 5ghz Band.
 
You have it backward. These DHCP messages aren't causing a disconnect, it's the disconnect that's causing the client to request a DHCP lease.
 
Anyway I can narrow down what is causing the disconnect?

Could be pretty much anything: interference, bad driver, bad NIC, using a DFS channel close to a weather radar, compatibility issue with the configuration...
