Like it does it repeatedly for about a good 3 minutes and it just now stopped. What's the problem? The WiFi was never lost. Any way to fix this?

PS4 keeps saying WiFi Network Connection lost.... even though it isn’t

My PS3 started doing this. And eventually started dying. I opened it up and there was a lot of dust. I cleaned it and it fixed it.
Happens all the time with my PS4. So cleaning out the dust is the best fix?

might be the wifi card starting to go. those are fairly easy to replace.
pressurized air.
DO NOT TURN THE CAN UPSIDE DOWN, you will freeze components and break it.
you can also open up the unit and blow it out.

It's really easy to open up a PS4. I recommend taking off the shell and using some compressed air to blow out the dust. It's also not a bad idea to re-apply some thermal paste which is a little more involved process but again, not very difficult. Plenty of tutorials on youtube.
No need to be snarky or a dick for no reason, man. But that's cool, you do you. For anyone who wants to give a serious answer, I wanted to know what the best way is to clean the dust that may have fallen inside and needs to be sucked out. Wondering if there's a mini vacuum or something like that I could use.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I think its been answered. Is it worth investing in an air duster?

Also, it's been said not to hold the can upside down, which is true, but I would add that it's also best to spray in short burst instead of a long, constant stream.
It's happened to me once upon a time... As I remember I replaced the router cables (connected them to different ports or even use the new ones) and the problem has gone immediately
My friend occasionally gets the LAN disconnected message over ethernet. Net's fine, but it drops him completely for a few seconds. He says it's a heating issue, as whenever it happens there's a ridiculous amount of heat blowing out of the back.
The used to happen to me too. I changed the ethernet cable to a decent quality one that fits into the port more snuggly, and it stopped happening. My theory is that the heat causes the ethernet port to expand slightly, and causes the connection to the ethernet cable to be broken for long enough to drop the connection.
Mine does this with ethernet/LAN every time I turn it on for the past several months despite the fact it isn't actually disconnecting at all, I completely ignore it now.
