Also it's possible that there are at times what they call micro cuts in the power supply they are not noticeable to other electronic devices but routers are very sensitive to them.

I did think of this but in all honesty it would highly unlikely in my building.

I live on the 9th floor and when I go up to the 14th floor I cannot pick up my signal and on that and knowing who my neighbours are on all floors I cannot see anyone piggy backing.

Given the frequency of power cuts here (even before the aircon season is upon us), an Uniterruptible Power Supply may be a good investment. I use one to keep my routers up and running.

Problems also in Dreamland. Always seems to go off on the hour or half hour. Wired LAN connection.
