 What phone? - smokie
I have a fancy BT Whole Home 4 mini disc system which is supposed to be mesh-like I think. www.amazon.co.uk/BT-Whole-Wi-Fi-Bundle-Additional/dp/B07YVRWRF9/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=bt+whole+mini&qid=1625156392&s=electronics&sr=1-2 but it was under £100 when I got it. I used to use cheap (£4) Xiaomi repeaters which worked just as well, except only 2.4GHz and actually a lot slower throughout (the BT ones are very quick on the right devices).

It does seem quite good now I have it stable, but it took some time to get it there.

However, when in her favourite chair, SWMBOs phone would be connecting/disconnecting all the time, and never get an IP address. So I switched the discs around but it was the same. It would connect to discs elsewhere in the house no problem.

So it was a bit cheeky really to blame the phone, but after a month or so of intermittently trying to fix it I thought I'd see if I could swap the phone under warranty. Unexpectedly they agreed but the second one behaved the same, so it too went back.

Anyway the new dishwasher WiFi is playing up but in a different way, though Hoover told me last night it was due to the BT repeaters. I told them they are wrong but maybe there's something in it... :-)
