Huawei B315 drops wifi (not internet)

Hi
I've had this router for a year and it has worked fairly well (three network).

However lately the wifi has begun to stop working. Like all of a sudden the SSID disappears from the list of available networks.

If I plug in directly via ethernet cable the internet connection is working fine (so I don't think it's an issue with three)

After a time the wifi comes back and works again.

Has anyone experienced this with the router - is it likely that the router needs repair / replacement.

It's very annoying and I have done a factory reset a few times but the issue always returns.

Firmware is up to date. I also have a wifi extender but I doubt that could be having any affect?

(I am going to bring it in to a three store after christmas if it persists)

Note: I have experienced this with a number of devices so it's not a laptop issue I don't think

Its the extender.

Care to elaborate? The extender wifi never disappears so why would the router wifi completely disappear even if I'm standing next to it.

Again it's not that I can't connect or the internet drops it's that the wifi SSID from the main router disappears completely from the list.

Did you try changing the broadcast channel? Could be something else interfering with it, I think baby monitors can cause havoc?
