Hub 3 and Smart Home devices
To resolve issues with the strength of the signal in my flat, I purchased a TP-Link extender, and everything was fine, as I set its own SSID for smart home devices, primarily the weather station, as the core of my system. Issues started when I got 256 Kbps on a LAN cable to my PC instead of the 133 Mbps I was paying for. The factory restart of the Hub did not help at all, and the technician from VM had to arrive. He asked me to disconnect the TP-Link device, and we saw the speed getting where it should be. I was given two Wi-Fi pods to ensure full speed everywhere. A new set of problems started. My weather station supports only a 2.4 GHz connection. I went to the Hub's settings, changed the SSID for the 2.4 band differently, and connected the station and other smart devices. The VM Connect app on my phone demanded merging bands back, which disconnected my devices. I set only 2.4 from the Hub, but my phone will not connect. The idea was to reconnect devices, allow 5 GHz back and have a happy life. How to sort this out - to have full speed everywhere and only a single SSID for both bands? TIA
