would this be an issue ?

which one is the gateway?

Are you using this as your main router or as an AP.
is DHCP switched on or off on this router?

Ethernet FTW
**** wifi
signals are dirty
you probably have a neighbour that just installed something new and now your signals are getting fried
Wear tinfoil inside your underpants for now

Simple. Don't type...

 

[newby_investor]

just the wifi adaptor,

I think he means all the things connecting to the WiFi. I.e. both laptops, both phones...

Had the same issue at my parents place with the same router. Changed out the router and all worked well. Web Africa eventually sent another router but I’ve left the mikrotik in there.

so the router is over 2 years old but was never used. so guarantee/warantee is over

i did move the router to a cooler place and had no issues for the last few days

if possible try and keep something connected to it via LAN - if the wifi drops and so does that PC via lan drops as well then you know its not limited to the wifi module or the entire router.

Might as well connect the xbox
If any device is close to the router always use LAN
