Older or weaker devices may not be compatible with the default WiFi settings of EE Smart Hubs. Try setting up Compatible WiFi on the router under Advanced > Wireless Settings > Config > Compatible WiFi (it defaults to 2.4 GHz only & WPA2) & connect your problematic 2.4 GHz devices to that.

@ledwards123 Have a look on the ring app, Device Health and signal strength say what your RSSI value is at, also linked just in case you have one off the two hubs being affected by the new FW on the 6Plus or the 7Pro Hubs.
