My Router worked fine and gave me no problems until a friend came visiting. Everytime he turns on his laptop, the wifi signal of the whole house goes down. And it turns back on as soon as the laptop ...
What model of router do you own, and is it dual band 2.4GHz and 5GHz? If dual band do you have client devices that can use either band?
I had this exact issue. When my wife used her macbook on the wifi, it would just stop, all the lights went static and there was no connectivity not even directly connected.
I would check your friends notebook is set to automatically obtain ip/dns ect.
But I ended up just factory resetting the modem, set back my wifi settings and it was resolved. It worked for me. (Netgear support were no help, I was within my 90day support period at the time)
