A few likely culprits:
- Router placement and interference (microwaves, fish tanks, brick walls).
- Overcrowded 2.4 GHz channel; a quick channel scan can help.
- ISP modem signal issues or aging coax/connectors.
- Firmware bugs on the router; reboot helps, firmware update helps more.
- Device power saving turning off Wi-Fi adapters intermittently.

What it might be (likely causes)
Placement & obstacles
Wi-Fi hates water and masonry. Aquariums, brick fireplaces, and metal racks can scatter or absorb signal. See practical placement notes and real-world examples here: /posts/kirksville-wifi-dead-zones/
