Hub 4 Wifi dropping and incorrect Connected Devices information in Settings

BK_76
Tuning in

Hi all, another WiFi dropping post, seems there are many on here. This has been getting gradually worse over the last 2 weeks. 

My WiFi is cutting out every few minutes, so I have to disconnect wifi on my device, then reconnect, and its fine for a few minutes, before dropping out again. Mainly happening on my MacBook Pro (as I'm using it the most), but also happens on my iPhone, iPad, my girlfriends MacBook Air, her iPhone, her iPad and her works Samsung phone. So it's clearly not an issue with an individual device. 

I work from home, and this basically means I cannot do my job (I'm also in a signal blackspot with my phone network (Three), so I cannot rely on my phone signal). I get disconnected from work calls all the time, which is infuriating. 

I have a Hub 4 with two Powerline Boosters (both connected via Ethernet) to serve a small 2 bedroom flat (the Hub 4 on its own can't even reach the bedroom). 

Additionally, when I try to monitor what devices are connected to my Wifi network, there are two 'unknown' devices (with MAC addresses that I cannot determine the source of), and the list only shows a small proportion of the number of devices that should be connected (cannot see 2 iPads or 1 iPhone), leaving me to wonder what else is connected that shouldn't be.  

I have reset my Hub 4 router countless times 

Here's my BQM for the last 24hrs.
