I had my Linksys nighthawk router giving me problems with the 2.4Ghz band. I was able to correct the problem by adjusting the transmit power down to 75%, which still gave me the same signal strength at my furthest point. This must have reduced the distortion it was creating at full transmit power and it works perfectly now. Also going to a channel that doesn’t overlap will help with interference.
Sometimes it's just your GD router flickering out!!
I’ve never had a single wifi router that didn’t have at least some minor glitch in it. The first 3 generations I owned would overheat. My current ASUS with multiple antennas has a reliability problem on 2 GHz.
I know this because I have a laptop and streamer that were hooked up to it. Wifi analyzer showed very strong signal with no noisy neighbors at all. Still flickers out. Switch to 5 GHz and the problems go away.
Point is, in addition to your usual Wifi issues like low strength and neighbor’s signals interference these devices are made to the absolute bargain price point. Sometimes it really is your router.
If you can run Ethernet for your streamers, especially video, it's almost always going to save you issues later.
