So your V6's WiFi light should be on permanently then, but the LH symbol says the connection is dropping somewhere.
Why should it be permanently on?? The V6 wifi light is NOT designed to stay permanently lit???! If it is lit up, it means it is searching for wifi to connect to and once it connects, it goes off. This is how the light has always worked.
Need to find out whether this is happening between the V6 & hub, or onwards from there. If the hub's network is dropping, so should every other device connected - and a BQM would pick that up in a flash.
The Hub's connection is NOT dropping - no other device in the house loses connection during this time + when I notice this happening on my V6, I make a point of looking at my Hub and it shows no error lights.
If the V6 > hub connection is dropping, that's probably going to be evident in the network connections screen (Home > Help & Settings > Settings > Network) and the first thing I'd look for is the WiFi signal strength.
The wifi strength is 100% - as previously stated, the Hub is in the same room as the V6 but not close enough to connect via ethernet. Its literally less than 10ft away.
Without knowing your logistics, would a longer Ethernet cable be another solution?
Not really as it would mean affixing a REALLY long cable all around the skirting boards along the floor to the Hub (something I am not prepared to do).
...see above in red.
I'm thinking its a strange area connection thing seeing that this happens ONLY once a week and at the same time each week!
