All wireless devices keep losing connection suddenly.

A few weeks ago our wireless internet started randomly disconnecting, and every single device connected to the router wirelessly would lose connection. We have 6 potential devices, but I doubt more than 3 are connected at the same time. However, me and my brother both have wired connection, and we never lose connection.

So basically, wireless constantly disconnects, and everything connected loses connection, while our wired PCs are completely fine. I really have no idea what could be the issue and how to fix it.

And if it helps, it seems to have started after me and my brother got our 3DS, although I doubt it matters.
 
IMO, start by downloading and running "inSSIDer," it's a free app that'll show you a map of signals and some interferers.

Find the least-used channel amongst channels 1, 6, or 11 and use that.

What you describe could be interference or just a flaky AP/router or power supply (brick, cube, whatever).

Make sure the AP/Router and the power supply are in open air i.e., not covered or surrounded, restricting air flow ... sometimes being near a threshold high temperature will cause intermittent drops ...

Try these and let us know if you get any new info or questions.
