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.
