Internet Drops on Office PC...but not on MACS

I work in an office where there is one PC and three MACs.
Once in a while the PC (Lenovo X230) loses internet connection and it cannot be restored unless the router is reset.
The MACs do not have this type of issue.
The router is a verizon actiontec mi424wr

It's hard to tell what specifically triggers the connection drop, but once or twice it seemed to coincide with cell phone activity

Any advise ??

Thanks!!

SOLUTION

In case anyone is interested, the issue was that the router channel was "auto"
Once I changed it to a fixed value there was no more dropping :)
