Some devices drop off the network and need to be re-started before network shows up

Nearly every night since the installation of my TP-Link network, my PC loses internet connection and there are no networks available in the drop-down list. Occassionally, my wife's laptop and my Notebook do the same, but never at the same time as each other.
Once I re-start the computers, the local wi-fi networks are available again.
I have one Deco set-up next to the PC and I have a download speed of 53MBPS.
This seems to happen randomly, but did not occur prior to installing the Deco X60.
I would also recommend you check following things, if your PC runs Windows.
1. In Windows System screen, navigate to Power Options, and set Maximum Performance for WiFi adapter (make sure it is not in power saving mode):
2. In WiFi adapter settings, find "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" and toggle it. If it is on- turn it off, if it is off - turn it on. Sometimes when computer goes to sleep or hibernate, depending on network adapter when it wakes up it may have trouble restoring network connections.
3. It goes without saying, but check if there are newer versions of WiFi adapter drivers, in Windows Update under Optinal Updates, or on manufacturer web site.
Also, if you know the brand and model of your WiFi netwok card, you can google for similar issues and may find another troubleshooting recommendations.
