BT Home Hub 5
I upgraded to Infinity 2 recently and got a Home Hub 5 and BT YouView box.
I have one PC that runs 24/7 and at least once a day I find it connected to the WiFi but with No Internet Access. This is fixed by a disconnect and reconnect to the WiFi. My other PC does this occasionally but it is not so obvious with not being on 24/7. I find some recordings on the YouView failed so wondering if this is caused by the same problem though the YouView is connected to the hub by Ethernet so probably unrelated. I have asked around but not got any serious answers except to run a second WiFi router connected to the Home Hub 5 and this works reliably 24/7. I did a search oniine and found lots of complaints on the BT Forums about similar problems with the Home Hub 5 but have not seen any with solutions except to buy a new one and replace the Home Hub 5. I wonder if anyone here has come across any answers? |

De-sync the SSIDs and rename the 5GHz one with a 5 as the last char. All the settings are in the Advanced Settings|Wireless|5GHz Wireless
e.g. BTHub5-ABCD to BTHub5-ABC5 |
