Archer VR2800 wifi loosing packets while LAN (wire) works fine

Firmware Version :

Hardware: Archer VR2800 v1
Firmware version: 0.3.0 0.9.1 v006c.0 Build 170809 Rel.42095n (up to date at time of posting this)
ISP: Elisa
Country: Finland
Internet Connection: DSL
Hi, I bought the Archer VR2800 few weeks ago. Since setting it up, the wifi sometimes starts to loose packets a lot. The router page says that the internet connection is there and I can even do a successful speed test at the same time the wifi is loosing packets. I have tested with another computer using an ethernet cable connected into the LAN1 port and I can succesfully browse the internet via the cable when the wifi problem occurs. I have also tested with both 2.4GHz and 5GHz wifi networks, the problem occurs with both at the same time. I have also tried disabling and enabling QoS but that has no effect.
The wifi is not loosing clients and the signal is strong, it is just loosing packets a lot. I have a few wireshark recordings of it happening and the traffic monitor of the router can show even thousands of packets lost via wifi. Sometimes when the problem occurs, some pages can be half loaded and then the loading halts due to packet loss and other pages just do not load due to packet loss.
The problem does go away if the router is rebooted but can immediately reoccur after thirty seconds. The problem also occurs randomly and lasts for varying amounts of time and then goes away.
All the wifi settings are on the factory default except for the SSID and password of course.
Any help? I really would not like to refund this router as it is super fast when it works...
Here is a screen shot of a wireshark recording when trying to open my YouTube front page. All the black lines are retransmissions and from the right you can see a "macro view" of the recording. When data is passing through there should be mostly green and blue lines.
