Nothing is working for ipad wifi with uverse

Hello,
I have tried numerous fixes in order to get my wi-fi to stay connected on my ipad and have also exhausted my searches on here for potential solutions.
I have AT&T Uverse with the NVG589 modem. 
My PS4 and laptop are also connected to the wi-fi with no problems. 
I have contacted uverse support at least 5 times and also done numerous other things to no avail.
Here is a list of things I have tried:
Changing the wireless channel (only fixes issue for a couple of hours)
Reset network settings on ipad
Rebooted modem and ipad
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This is a huge problem and I have had this problem for months. ATT has replaced EVERY component, both in my house and in the neighborhood.  I have had at least 12 tech visits and the NVG589 has been replaced at least six times, with several of the replacements being bad!.  This has been a problem for my UverseTV, Windows laptop, iPad, iPhone.  It is complex, as we have 16 devices on our home network.
The symptoms I have had are slow pages, "Can't find server" messages, CSS not loading (resulting in unformatted pages), "connection issues" and more.  I tried everything I could find for a couple months.  I probably spent 30 hours trying to fix the issue.
Yesterday, I came across an article online about one of the older Motorola modems and it said there was a problem with the timeout on a DNS search.  It didn't wait long enough or something like that.  After more reading around I came across the instruction to change the iPad DNS setting.
So try this and let us know if it works for you...and how long it works, as sometimes the problem comes back in 15 minutes.
iPad instructions: Preferences/Wi-FI/ [click on the WiFi network you are using] / [click on DNS] / replace what is there by backspacing (probably 192.168.254.1, the router DNS server) with 8.8.8.8.  That is the google DNS server.
Now try your browser.
I am on Mac Mini.  Using the WiFi diagnosis, it said I had very low signal before I made this change.  Now it finds no problem.
I'll be interested to see if others find this a solution.
