Well sadly my sister who has all the apple devices (iPhone, Mac Book Pro, etc) just told me this morning that her devices lost Wi-Fi connection and also lost the Wi-Fi connection information on those devices.

So maybe its an apple issue ?

I have not seen any issues with my Android devices, but then again I have them is battery saving mode so it only enables Wi-Fi and connects when I use it, so I probably won't see any issues unless I was using my devices over a long period of time.

Actually, my android phone works fine, sadly my android tablet fails to connect, it just says saved, then says connecting, and then back to saved.

This is happening to two tablets and a Wii u.

SG4B10002236 arrived at 9.19 last night which has to be the oddest time to do something like that with a router, anyway so far so good (but i wasn't having problems anyway)

But does it lead to double posts?


Indeed, that's the only problem I've found with the thing.

Yeah, ours was about 03:30 in the morning, was sodding woke up by family member moaning internet was down.

We have had some strange issues with ours with that version, where apple and android devices would say "connecting" then "saved" and back to "connecting" again and kept repeating that.

The strange thing was that my Android Phone had no issues what so ever.

Not tried them today.

Well, once again Wi-Fi is broken resulting in all our devices "Connecting" then "Saved" then back to "Connecting" and so on.

I have tried having them separated, Joined, both result in the same.

Also on top of that the GUI / Pages on the Smart Hub are 9 / 10 unresponsive and the browser times out the page.
I have tried it in Edge, IE11, Chrome all seem to have this issue.

It took me 5 to 10 mins to actually log onto the damn thing, sadly all I could do is just reboot the thing.

See I had absolutely no issues before they patched the firmware, now I do, so BT have broken something.

In my eyes I must say BT should of called it the [censored] Hub because that's what it is at the moment.
Its a shame because I really did like it when it was working.

One thing I did notice was in our case this time it was the 2.4GHz Band having the issue.

So now I have to either look for an equivalent box to be run in WAN Mode that can handle all the throughput or disable the Wi-Fi and just use it wired connections and use a different box for the Wi-Fi Access Points.

I currently have 2 HH4 (Type A), a Fritz!Box 3390 and the Smart Hub.

So I can play about mixing and matching until its works as intended.

I have the same issue with the HH5.
So got my self one of thesehttp://www.edimax.com/edimax/merchandise/merchandise_detail/data/edimax/global/home_access_points_ac450/ew-7288apc/

USB powered which powers from the USB port on the back of the Home Hub. Now WiFi coverage in the house is brilliant. Much stronger than the HH and does not drop at all.
