Both 2.4 and 5Ghz
When I do rarely manage to get something and run a ping test there are mostly failed replies.
My mobile and TV do work although there is some obvious break in signal. Mobile data is fine.
Any ideas what's going on please?
Thank you
Mark

Try changing the wireless channels as it could be a neighbour using the same ones. A WiFi sniffer app, such as WiFi Analyzer, which I run on an Android phone, allows you to 'see' all users of a channel so you can manually pick the one with the lowest activity. Check at both the hub location and where you use your devices.

Strange that my phone and TV still work well on WiFi while the laptops don't.

There appear to be numerous issues with Dell 5400 series and laptops - have you tried Googling the issue? A quick search found these amongst many others...

Do they match your experience?
