Wi-Fi only LAN and internet drops outs
I have a client that operates using a mix of MACs and PC's. Mainly laptops. They all connect to the server, email, internet, printing and time capsule backups across wi-fi. About 4 months ago, they started getting dropouts to the internet and local network whilst connected to a strong wi-fi signal strength.
This randomly keeps happening and clearly the client is getting annoyed, as am I at the amount of time I've spent try and fix this. One day it could be fine, the next its terrible.
I've replaced the router, had two different WAP in, changed the SSID, changed the password, its using WPA(2)-PSK.
Right now I'm going across all devices turning them off to see if this has any effect or not, but could use some guidance.

Good ol back to basics troubleshooting :)
I only ask because you don't mention it and its the obvious thing to try first.
It worked for me (eventually we worked out it was a harmonic of a neighbours cordless phone and roller door opener combining that caused the issue).
