Broadband down to one bar

Why does broadband drop to one bar late a night, causing a lost connection to streaming.
the Wi-Fi stays at 3-4

@Djs07 what are you looking at? The indicator of connectivity showing as curved lines on devices shows the wifi strength which is how they are connected to the hub. The other idicator on a phone of vertical lines is the strength of the mobile signal.

WiFi signals are affected by interference which often increaes at night as your neihbours' use their networks. Rebooting your hub can help as that will make it find the least congested channel to use. However if you live close to your neighbours in a flat or similat wifi interference cannot be eliminated. Modern mesh wifi systems can help but these can be expensive.

Ok thanks

So when the mobile signal shows 2 bars

as does the Wi-Fi 2 signal - on my mobile phone

but when I check the sky checker, it tells me it's fine I should ignore it.

other question why does my pod stop working from time to time. I'm on fibre
