Poor WiFi

Recently a tech visit resulted in replacing our SH2 with a SH3 and since then the WiFi has been terrible.
I have read various threads on here with others having the same issues so I think I might consider using the SH3 in modem mode and purchasing a good quality Cable router.

Re: Poor WiFi

Before you do that, consider separating the two WiFi bands as the Hub 3.0 is delivered with a single SSID covering both bands.

Always the best thing to do anyway. Especially with Iphones

Re above, I have my Shub 2 in modem mode connected to an Asus RT-AC87U router. I have it set up so that the SSID and password for both the 2.4 and 5G networks are exactly the same. This seems to work ok, but are you suggesting it's not a good idea to do this?
Thanks.

Correct, just add a 5 at the end of the 5g SSID. Some phones and tabletsdon't like the same.
