[quote=Anonymous]Assuming that the router in question supports both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, is it possible that someone disabled one of them (maybe the 2.4GHz band)? Or maybe your neighbor is now using the same channel? Check the user interface for the router and make sure that both bands are enabled. Try changing the channel for the 2.4GHz band (there are only three from which you should pick: 1,6, and 11; do not use any of the others). Printer, TV, and thermostat are likely devices that support older standards, which is why I suspect that the 2.4GHz band (the older one) is the issue here. Laptops and telephones have supported 5GHz for a while. As usual, I will point out that wireless is never perfect, so try to get network wiring installed for devices that never move (printer, TV, desktop computers, etc.), if reliability matters to you.[/quote]
