Hi Ronald-Lisa-201,
We recommend using a WiFi analyzer app /program to check for the best wireless channel. You can use the NETGEAR Genie WiFi analyzer for Android. You can also check the links below.

i waited a while to responed, but the problem is constant, maybe it's overlapping wifi in my building but I tried to change the
channel but it still happens I must reboot every time to get wifi working without the on / off disconnections
