Intermittent U-verse signal strength
I ordered a new wireless receiver and installed it last week in the same place as the old receiver. All other equipment stayed the same and in the same location. The signal is constantly going in/out. The screen freezes every 10 seconds or so and the signal strength goes up/ down all the time, sometimes completely losing connection for 15 seconds or so, then re-connecting itself. I have rebooted the gateway and the receiver and nothing is helping. I have checked service levels via the website.

How many bars show on the receiver front panel?
Needs to be 3 or more…
You replaced a unit with this one, why?
Was the original unit also wireless receiver?
How many wireless receivers do you have?
Have you tried relocating units to determine if problem follows receiver to a different tv?
What is the model of the WAP?
Your description is of a unit in the RED (2 bars), could be issue with receiver, the environment interference with 5G wireless signal or possibly with the WAP.

Thank you for the response. I had between 2-3 bars and then would lose power. Initially I re-booted the tower through my app and that didn't help. I unplugged both the router and the tower for 30 seconds and re-booted both at the power source. That seems to have resolved the issue.
