I don't know what happened, but for couple of days the WiFi in my room have been terrible I mean it comes and goes as it pleases and when I go to a different room it just fine. Also the WiFi can appear fine for anywhere from 1 hour to 1 min to barely a second.

- When I trouble shoot it, there are various reasons that comes up like gateway, adapter, router issues(most of the time it says it's gateway error and it goes on to fix itself, but that seem to be a temporary fix only).
- Only thing that could have changed is that the place the modem and router sitting was moved couple of feet and it's sitting near a desktop.
- My phone get WiFi some time more than my computer but it also have hard time getting ti sometimes.

Might be interference, I've got zones in my house where the WiFi can randomly stop working (nothing loads but signal is still being received). Would you happen to be using 2.4GHz? Also, do you have a Wireless AP in your room (router, extender etc)?

Try downloading an app for your phone (or laptop if you can't) such as "WiFi Analyser" (any should work). Generally, the strongest signal will be yours (also look for one with your router's name ie Netcomm Wireless, Netgear etc) and see if there are any others with the same channel number as you. If there is, see if channels 3, 7 & 11 are free. If there are you may need to switch your WiFi channel (look up on your router manufacturers website for help with this).

There seems to be one another on on the same channel and it seems to fluctuate

So can it affect just certain place though, that's what I don't get.

Okay I tried changing my channel couple of time and the problem is still occurring. Any idea what's causing it?
