WiFi keeps dropping out at the same time every day
Something is scheduled to run at that exact time every day. Either your router, your internet service provider, or a device on the network. It's not a signal strength problem.
WiFi dropping at the exact same time every day is not random. Something is scheduled to happen then. It is your router automatically restarting, a scheduled backup running on a device, interference from another device that turns on at that time, or your internet provider's maintenance window. Because it's consistent, we can figure out what it is by checking the timer.
- ✓Write down exactly what time it drops down to the minute
- ✓Have access to your router admin page to check for a scheduled restart
- ✓Keep your internet provider's phone number handy to ask about maintenance windows
- ✓Know what devices are connected to your network (computer, phone, NAS)

Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Assuming it's a signal strength problem when it's really scheduled. Timing this consistent only happens with scheduled events
- Forgetting to save changes in the router settings. Always click 'Save' or 'Apply' after making changes
- Not checking your internet provider's maintenance schedule. Many outages are legitimate provider maintenance
Signs you need professional help
- You can't log into your router to check the settings Your provider confirms they have maintenance at that time and won't move it You've disabled the scheduled restart and checked all devices, but WiFi still drops at the same time
