I came across a unique situation the other day at a clients. She was complaining that her wireless connection was randomly disconnecting. After confirming that it wasn't her cable company, I had her reset all the devices. At first it worked, and then again a while later it was out.
After going on site, I discovered that the room where the modem and wireless router were installed was upstairs and very hot. Last week we had record heat in the around with temperatures reaching 39 degrees C in some areas!
First thing I did was get the router up off the carpet so air could flow underneath. Second, put a small fan blowing directly on the router. Voila! Now it's working again and she didn't have to buy a new router (and thankfully i didn't have to install it.) Sometimes it's the really obvious fixes that are the trickiest.
