Up until a few days ago I had no issues at all. Then suddenly my wi-fi signal has become incredibly weak. No circumstances have changed, no new devices or change in placement; one day it was fine, the next it wasn't. I can be in the same room as the router and still have it be too weak to for my devices to use it. The wired connection is absolutely fine, I tested the speed and it's as expected. It's just the wi-fi that's coming up short. Anyone know what might be the problem?
Fixed! Go to the fix.

Could well be the wifi card. Long ago I treated myself to a new £80 Billion with two-year warranty. At 26 months the wifi card gave up the ghost, a common occurrence according to the forums I consulted -- pity I hadn't done so before I bought it. These days I'm very happy with a BT HH6 which cost me all of £15 on Gumtree. Suggest you try another router, in your shoes I would find a HH6 hopefully in driving distance. Its wifi is much better than the Hub One.

Thank you for the reply @Gandalf.
Just went through it. Refreshing the Smart Wireless gave me a strong signal on my devices. They were all then saying "Connected, no internet". Using the classic 'turn it off and on again' on the router fixed that last part. All have a strong and working connection now. Thank you for your help.
