I have a mixed, hard line and wireless internet setup. About 2 months ago, I upgraded to a Linksys WRT 1900AC router. It worked really well for the first 1.5 months. Over the last couple of weeks, the wireless part stops working several times a day. When I reboot the router (has an app on my phone that I can reboot from) it works again for a while. As far as I am aware, my hard line (ethernet cable) has continued to work. I checked to see if I had any DHCP conflicts (I had a couple of wireless G access points before and an Apple router) and/or IP conflicts and don't appear to.
My first thought was to change channels but I don't know an effective way to determine what my neighbors channels are so that I can adjust mine on to something with less traffic. I haven't noticed any new wireless networks around me btw.
My setup is the 1900 AC router, an ARRIS TM902 modem (for phone and internet from Charter), and a Dell Power Connect 2324 switch.
I run tons of different things on my network including security cameras, WeMo's, iPads, iPhones, IMacs, PC, Sonos System, Dell Laptop, Smart TV's, Sony PS3, etc.
Now, I did have this problem on occasion previously but not nearly as much as I do now. As I recall, the entire internet would go out versus just wireless now.
My wife and kids are very frustrated that I can't fix this problem so suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
