Hi Sbirch,
Thanks for taking the time to contact us via the Community. We're sorry to hear you've been having an issue with your WiFi connection.
Taking a look at things this end, I can see all is looking well with the Hub in terms of power levels, uptime and time outs. There are no faults open that may be affecting you either. I can see that the hub has been online for 49 days so it's worth turning this off and leaving it off for a few minutes to refresh everything. This will then ensure that all your devices are connecting on the right band.
There are so many things that can influence a WiFi connection some of which include but are not limited to, a fish tank being in the same room, walls being built with concrete instead of brick, it could even be that your next door neighbours router is interfering with yours. Due to this, we are only able to offer limited help. Please have a look here: WiFi Help.
The Hub's location could also be causing the coverage problem so we do need to check the positioning of it. Can you please ensure the following:
If that doesn't help, you can download our Connect App which will allow you to scan areas of your home and will offer help. You can view more information on that here.
Finally, you can view more about our new WiFi Max service here.
Please keep us posted on how you get on.
Thanks,

What package are you on? Do you qualify for a free pod?
Try 2.4GHz only
Any neighbour on same channels? Other sources of interference?
what devices?
drivers up to date?

Hi thanks for your response. I used the connect app and it said I had a few black spots but it said about getting a pod but it kept freezing when I tried to request one.
Thanks

What happens when you try to order them via the Connect App Sbirch? Do you get any error messages?
