That’s too bad. I have felt your pain!

I picked up the hub just about 2 years ago works great.
I don't know if there is a different type out now, but I see in the ads they can only be used at the location you register it for. In the summer I take mine to the lake and we get better cell phone reception and wifi.
Pretty happy with that.

Surprising enough I changed out the router and all problems are gone. Really wished the smart hub would if worked though.

I got a smart hub 3 weeks ago. I cancelled GPN 2 weeks later after a 7 years of VERY erratic and unreliable service. Best I ever got from GPN was 7 MBPS down (averaged 2-3) and less than half that up - in the middle of the night. Now I rock 23-25 down and just about the same up! Very impressed so far. One option you might have is a yagi antenna aimed at a compatible cell tower. I needed the yagi antenna to boost my cell signal in my house (ICF construction).
