Signal keeps dropping and requires a hub4 reboot

Recently my internet has kept dropping out and requires a full reboot of my hub. WebChat seem to think a wifi pod will fit the issue however no idea how that will fix the signal drop and reboot issue

        Guessing the red line are where you rebooted but other then that BQM looks ok you might want to look at getting a better wifi router with 1Gb ports and use hub in modem mode

    Does this post mean the Signal to the Hub is dropping out and causing a visible change in the lights displayed on the front to the Hub ? 

    If Yes : check the Hub 4 Upstream & Downstream status tabs for obvious signal or error issues.

    Use both methods to see if there is a known fault in your locality :

    Call the local fault line: 0800 561 0061 – this is an automated number.

  • Now I can't even get a 5ghz signal, despite rebooting and resetting the router. Can an Admin please get in touch?

  • Hi, I’ve managed to stabilise the network as for some reason a bunch of settings got altered in the hub4 (phone support were terrible and kept trying to look at boosting the signal, not why 5ghz was missing).

     

    I think I’m going to look into a mesh system to replace the hub4 functionality tbh
