Internet access issues are not uncommon in most households & businesses. Most of the time issues arise from either problems with your router or Internet Serive Provider (ISP). However, cases of internet issues could be because of a direct attack. Your devices can be targeted by a DoS attack or DeAuth attack in which your device(s) may temporarily lose access to the internet. This is a hacking technique designed to try & gain information about your WIFI key & brute force access to your network. If this has been a notable problem & especially if you only have 1 or a couple devices start to have connectivity issues, then this could very well be going on.
