Rant: Smart gadgets losing connection all the time

I've got a bunch of smart plugs and lights set up around my place. They keep dropping off my Wi-Fi for no clear reason. What usually causes this kind of thing?

Tell me about it, my place turns into a ghost town every other day. I'm convinced my router and smart bulbs have some kind of petty feud going on. It's probably a mix of a weak wifi signal, those gadgets having cheap little brains, and too many things trying to talk at once. They just get overwhelmed and peace out for a while. Honestly, half the time I think they just take a nap and forget how to get home. We bought these things to make life easier, but constantly resetting them is a whole new chore.

Move your router to a central location. Fixed most of my connection issues.

Feel your pain, and @anna_flores96 might be onto something with the router thing.
