Had a similar problem two-three months ago. ISP recognised it as a BT
problem.

Hi All
My wireless connection to the router keeps dropping out even though it
reports 64% signal. Yesterday everything was OK all day but this
morning no connection.
The router is mounted on a high shelf in a room with 2 single brick
walls between. This problem has recently started (since mid Jan), it's
not consistent and nothing has changed with settings on the laptop. I
have thought that perhaps the wireless card in the laptop is failing but
would that not be permanent? The card is fixed and held by 2 screws to
the motherboard. Do cards fail as they age?
I've just moved into the room with the router and the signal is 89% but
still no connection. I will now plug in an Ethernet cable to send this.
