Re: WiFi random drop outs

Turn of auto wireless. Have you tried using a wifi analyser on your phone and see what networks and channels are in use round about you then either select a free channel or less congested channel where your wifi signal is strongest

Re: WiFi random drop outs

There isn't too much network interference around me - but i will try and change the channels. Thank you for your help.  

What are you referring to when you say to turn off auto wireless? Is it a setting on the router? Sorry!

Re: WiFi random drop outs

From your hub stats you have wireless channel on auto select so hub changes the channel  automatically whereas you may find a fixed channel works better for you
