Over the past week (week and a half, maybe), my (wireless) internet connection has become very unstable - sometimes, it will run smoothly for a few hours, but other times (and, more often than not), it becomes incredibly unstable and will 'flicker' on and off repeatedly in the span of a few minutes or simply lose the connection and not regain it for a few minutes.
Current set up is:
Antenna on the roof -> this particular POE Injector -> Netgear WPN824 v2 router. Both my desktop (which is using some DELL-branded network adaptor that I can't find the model number of) and the laptops in the house are experiencing issues with the connection. The signal strength from the router is somewhat jumpy (it'll bounce between 2 and 5 bars), although I've never paid attention to the signal strength in the past.
I've tried contacting my ISP about it, but they are saying that the signal to the antenna is both strong and consistent when they tested it on their end. Could the drop in the router's signal strength be responsible for the loss of connection?
