Here's one I came across with my Duet receivers. One on main floor, same
as my router and one in the basement. I had put a powerline adapter so I
could add a second access point in the basement. I set it up with
separate SSID's so that I would have no trouble directing a connection
to the desired wifi. Then I upgraded my main router and missed that I'd
put its wifi on the same channel as my AP in the basement. For a couple
of weeks I had all kinds of problems with my receivers disconnecting.
One day after I'd had enough I got serious about figuring out what the
issue was. I found 2 things 1- The AP and main router were using the
same channel 2- The new main router had a much stronger / larger wifi
footprint than the router it replaced. I've now removed my AP and
powerline ethernet extender and haven't had a disconnect on either of my
receivers since.

Wifi is finicky, check for neighboring routers using the same channel as
your router. I've also found the wifi to be more stable for the
receivers if I use an explicit channel vs having the router channel set
in auto. The receivers seem to like it better when the wifi channel
stays the same all the time.
