Explanation

Intermittent wireless connectivity is most commonly caused by channel interference from neighboring wireless networks operating on the same or overlapping channels. Changing to a non-overlapping channel (e.g., 1, 6, or 11 on the 2.4 GHz band) eliminates this interference and stabilizes the connection. MAC filtering (A), wireless encryption (C), and disabling SSID broadcasting (D) are all security measures that do not address signal interference or connectivity quality.
