Collapsing WDR4300 - Home Network Health Check

Dear Community,
I have set up my home network consisting of a combination of LAN, WLAN and DLAN. DLAN is necessary since some access points in my house cannot be reached by ethernet cable and this seems to be a reasonable solution.
To clarify the logic I created a simple network sketch.
Problem:
It often happens that the internet connection at 3) and all downstream devices collapses while the connection at the entry modem of my internet provider Kabel Deutschland is still stable. By rebooting 3), the problem is often solved.
This, to be honest, is an unacceptable solution for my personal requirements. Sometimes it is also the case that I need to reinstall 4) in order to make the DLAN network work again.
Device description:
1) Service provider modem with router function (CBN CH6640E)
2) Wireless Lan Access Point TP-Link TL-WA730RE
3) Wireless Lan Router (on AP mode) TP-Link TL-WDR4300, WAN port not used
4) DLAN adapter (Powerline) TP-Link PA211 as starting point of the DLAN network
behind 4) a mix of TP-Link TL-WPA4220 and PA211+TL-WA730RE
Between 1) and 3) there is a 8 port switch TP-Link SL-SF1008D
The illustrated LAN connections e.g. from 3) to 4) and the garden access point mean that there are 2 seperate ethernet cables installed
3) is the only device being responsible for DHCP allocations
All Wireless Lan devices are extending the wifi-signal within the house/garden
Questions:
- Can you see any problem at my home network?
- Is there an obvious reason why the internet connection at 3) often collapses while at 1) it is still working even though they are connected by stable LAN?
- Can it be a hardware problem?
- Is the WDR4300 known for these problems? Suggestions for a more stable device?
Thanks a lot. I appreciate your support.
