Hi,

I have a hub one router on FTTC, My Wifi devices are a Chromebook (Acer R11) a one plus6 phone and two other Android devices. There are TV and Youview boxes but wired with mains plug links.

The Acer  Chromebook is the device I notice the problem on.

Fix

Acer R11 is a dual band wifi device.

Try splitting the 2.4 and 5 GHz wifi and renaming the 5 GHz wifi.

Then see if the Acer maintains a stable connection if connected to either 2.4 or 5 GHz wifi.

Re: wifi dropping ev few seconds

Thanks bill888,

I have done that and will report back on how it goes. I am using the 5 Ghz connection now and will change to the 2.4 if it drops.
