Regular rebooting BT Smart Hub 2 router

When I was moved from BT to EE I kept the  BT Smart Hub 2 that I was originally provided with two or three years previously. When it works it works fine, but three or four times a week Wifi connections to the router are lost. I reboot the router and its fine again for a short time. I have also used factory reset to see if that helps, but lost connections keep happening and rebooting is still necessary.

Any ideas?

Regards

Nigel

@Repper Are you just loosing the wireless wi-fi connection, you are now the second person reporting such an issue in the last couple weeks with the BT Smarthub2 Router!

Yes. Just wireless connections. Anything wired in to the router is okay

Are you Full Fibre? I have the Smart 2 Hub and when my connection was copper to the pole I had the hub dropping connection between combi boiler and wifi thermostat. Since going Full Fibre it has given a more stable connection.

@Repper When you did the factory reset, did you for sure hold the reset button in for a long enough period while watching the front light change to indicate that is was done and ready to reset, if not the hub will just go into a reboot mode and NOT actually reset itself! Think the period of hold is at least 20 seconds on the button!

I am on full fibre
No I did not hold the reset button in for that long.Will try that this evening and see what happens over next few daysThanks

@Repper As before hold the button and watch the front off the hub, once the light changes count 5 more release and let the hub reset and return to operation!
