Question WiFi signal weaker after changing modem (same router)

[alanps]

Hey children, how you doing?

Yesterday my ISP changed my Motorola SURFboard modem for a Kaon. Now, WiFi signal doesn't reach the kitchen as before.
Weird thing is I have a Linksys AC1900 router that I didn't even touch, same network, location, everything.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Antennas get reoriented? Router rotated? Something get piled on it so it is overheating? Power cycle on the router changed the WIFI channel? There is no obvious explanation ...

I literally didn't do anything with the router. I didn't touch it at all, just unplugged the old modem and changed to the new one. Antennas in the same spot as well as router.

Well, if you didn't do anything at all to the router, maybe you should reboot it.
