Computers Wireless router

**rockymtnchief** · 07-15-2011, 11:43 AM

Need some help here.

I've troubleshot many wireless routers over the years in homes and business and figured them all out, though I don't claim to be a genious. I've found phones, wireless cameras, bad routers, etc... blocking the wireless signals.

Now I have trouble in my own home I can't figure out. My wireless works fine for hours...and then just disappears. The router is 20' away, nothing in between it and my laptop, no close neighbors, it works fine plugged into an ethernet port, no 2.4 phones, etc... I've tried 3 different brands of routers and the same issue. The SSID won't show on the 3 different laptops or my smartphone when the problem pops up. Everything disappears for 30-60 minutes...and poof...works fine for a few hours. It never happens at the same time of day or for the same amount of time.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
