I used to look at it from two sides; one side is fascinated at the innovation and intensely brutal ways that high-end cyberattacks work, and the other side of me loses sleep at night worrying about these risks affecting our clients, prospects, and even my own business.

No, it’s probably not your current Wi-Fi access point going bad, but it’s likely that it’s struggling to handle the office environment you have today, versus the office environment you had back when it was first installed.
