Every day at 16:10 my WiFi drops out for a minute or so (I use a Tenda
Nova Mesh).

Is this the lease being renewed or is it the neighbour's daughter getting
home from school and tapping into my WiFi?

DHCP lease renewing should be seamless, does your router tell you the
up-time of the xDSL (or PPPoE/PPPoA) interface?

Daughter getting home and microwaving a snack?

Is that every day including weekends and half term?

Hi Andy.

Router uptime is over 2 days so yesterday's event didn't seem to affect
that. I can't seem to get any stats from the Tenda Nova but it is supposed
to do its admin at 03:00 each day.

The first five days after the weekend are the hardest.

I'd hesitate to be rude about the young lady but it could be :-)

If you routinely cannot tell what day of the week it is I suggest you
have more important things to do than worry about your wifi dropping out
for a minute or so.

And the dates of half terms for state schools are freely available online.

Oh dear, my post obviously needed a couple of smileys as well as the

There is absolutely no substitute for a genuine lack of preparation

Is it just the WiFi or does your whole (wired) internet connection go
down too?

If the latter, what sort of connection to the outside world do you have?
Is it wired ADSL, Openreach fibre (to the cabinet or to the premeses),
Virgin, something else?

Does your ISP provide any kind of line quality stats?

It's just my WiFi connection from the laptop to the Tenda, I can't see any
stats on the Tenda app.

And I would have used the emoji for a duck if I knew what it was.

My point was that there's a significant difference between it happening
/literally/ every day and not.

Try setting the time on your laptop so it is 10 minutes ahead of where
it is now. Then losing wifi at 16:20 or 16:10 by your laptop's clock
will point to the router etc or your laptop. Losing wifi at neither will
be different.
