K Hunt: No faults have been reported on the which is indicated as being the main that covers your area, however said area does appear to be one of potentially poor , likewise if you are using any form of on your system then this may possibly have failed, therefore if its easily accessible you should try by passing it.

By the way, if you are using a booster? it should be noted that this can still be defective even although the " on" light on the device might still be illuminated.
