Are you noticing the issue solely on wireless devices or wired also?

Hi Beyhive
Yes it's only on wireless & not on anything that's hardwired into the router .
Cheers

Hi @Zig666,
If it is solely wireless devices where you notice the issues then I'd recommend following the steps below on how to best optimise the wireless to suite your property which should improve things for you.
What we need to change are a couple of settings on the Wireless page of your router's menu. What we are doing is often called 'splitting the networks' and 'changing wireless channels'.
1) To connect to your Hub One, you will need to open a browser and go to 192.168.1.254 If you have any issues doing this via Wireless, we recommend trying to do it via Ethernet cable instead.
2) You should come to a page with information about your connection, click 'Advanced Settings' at the top and it will ask you to sign in with a Password. This is located on the back of your router under 'Admin Password'
3) Select the option for 'Wireless' followed by '5 GHz Wireless'. What we want to do to begin with is turn 'Sync with 2.4 GHz Wireless' to 'Off' and update the SSID to be different. The easiest way would be to add '-5G' to the end so it is identified as its own connection. Once this is changed, we will need to keep an eye on it for a day or 2 to see if the issue continues. If it does, the next step would be to change the wireless channel. Keeping in mind the original 2.4Ghz unchanged name network connection would be the best to connect your devices to for a stronger signal.
4) Following the above guide to get to your 'Advanced Settings' page, you will need to change the settings within the 2.4 GHz Wireless tab and the 5 GHz Wireless tab.
5) Under the correct heading, you will need to find 'Channel Selection' on the list and change this from 'Automatic' to any one of the other channels, This can also need doing under '5 GHz Wireless' to cover both signals. Give it 3-4 hours of testing to see if the issue still persists and try to change the channel again if you see little or no improvement.

Sorry for the late reply but I've been busy, I've done the 1st bit of what you said (turning the sync off & renaming the 5GHZ channel) I don't think it's still happening but I haven't really been @ home that much since but now the Internet is really slow on WiFi buffering quite a lot.
I have asked the rest of my family how its been ie "is it still losing connection" but the only answer I can get out of them is "it's lagging a lot" from my son & "the TV keeps buffering from the wife".
Should I continue with the 2nd part of changing channels or not & what happens to the 5GHZ channel with the changed name does it get used because everything is connected to the 2.4GHZ channel atm?
Kind Regards
Ziggy

Thanks for getting back to us @Zig666
If you've connected all your devices to the 2.4GHZ band then it may be worth changing the wireless channels on the 2.4GHZ band to see which one works best
Can you also advise what speeds you're getting after carrying out a speedtest?
