My Connect has been remarkably sporadic. I have updated my controllers, and then the app led me through two hardware updates. Yet the Connect drops out after a few minutes. I hit “Stop” and “Play” on the app, and we’re good again… for a few.
Yes I’ve rebooted router.

I’ve noticed that you don’t even sell Connects anymore, it’s been replaced with the Port.

At 10 feet away from the router I’d run an Ethernet cable as step one to eliminate WiFi problems as an issue.
