  The log shows something messy starting at 10:56:07 from IP 195.68.154.66,
about when your Whatsapp failure starts. That IP does not resolve to anything here.

  Here, Whatsapp shows IP addresses 169.55.60.148 and 108.168.254.65. Neither of
those appear in your log, not even the first octet.
  What is the IP for Whatsapp at your location?

  The log shows only alerts; there are no dropped packets.

  Try this: disable the Suricata rules. In disable.conf add:
# Disable all SURICATA rules
re:SURICATA

  and restart Suricata.

  If the alert log was not rotated, suricata was stopped at 00:38:49?
  And when did Whatsapp reconnect?

  Execute this command at the router, post result:
$ sudo iptables -nvL INPUT -w 3 | head -7
