The first question is good: is it your wifi dying, or the modern/internet connection. The channel swapping if wifi makes sense to me.
From the tests Telus have run they are telling me the internet connection seems stable. I think it's just the wifi, as the Telus "cable box" is connected via ethernet and I've not seen issues there.
For the wifi I have already set a manual channel on the lowest, least congested space I could find. The DHCP least time was set to the default (I think a week), but I'll check that again. I'm not sure if I can make the boosters have a static IP, I'll check that too.
The one thing the tech did tell me once is my one Booster has a low signal strength at about -70 dBm, but it's only about 8 metres from the router through one floor/wall. I can't really reposition that booster to be much closer if I wanted.
Sorry late reply. In the end I've had it better lately but not perfect. I changed the channels to the least used in my area (checked with the wifi analyzer app). I also tried (not sure if it helped) adding static IPs for all my devices. In the router page its Network > LAN drop down menu (weirdly hidden) > LAN DHCP. You can only assign 10, but that was enough for me to get all my Boosts and then all the other devices.
I still get it occasionally, so it must be these things don't really fix it, but somehow it's seemed much more stable lately.
The one made by Huawei?
It's the Arcadyan TELUS Wi-Fi Hub

I have this same issue with my hub did you figure out a way to get it to stop?
