    Yeah check the signal strength and noise floor, you don't want a signal any weaker than -75dbm(lower is better).

    The OP gave the signal strength as being -70dBm, so no worries there.

    Has the power supply been changed?

    Try with another power supply (12v to 24V, 1 Amp) and see if there is an improvement.

    Yes but he could watch it when his connection turns bad and see if it changes a bit etc.

    It'll be the SNR that'll fluctuate really. To be fair the actual strength could change too in a fault, but the status page of the unit will likely have both numbers anyway. Perhaps PogMoThoin could advise us on that bit.

    First page of the Ubiquiti firmware will have the info (that is only if it has the latest firmware, older firmwares don't give a noise level). The ideal situation is to have 20db or more between the signal and noise level. A signal of -70db is only very good with a noise of 90db, perfect if noise is 100db, ie more than 20 between them.

    Try login to the Ubiquiti with ubnt, password ubnt, its ip to login on will be Your gateway when You "ipconfig /all" (that is unless its backed onto another router) from Your pc

    I'm actually convinced its contention
