Field Scenario
A customer reports that one specific device in their home consistently loses connection while others work fine.
What You Actually Do
- Investigate this as a likely device-level or access point-level issue rather than assuming a broader network failure
- Systematically distinguish between device, router, and upstream ISP as possible sources
- Check for outdated firmware or configuration issues specific to the affected device
- Avoid assuming the entire network is at fault when the symptom is isolated to one device
