I am having a problem with my wifi network and i think it might be because i have 2 many devices connected. I am with Telstra unlimited $95 per month (NBN FTTC standard plus speed) with smart modern 2nd gen
i have connected approximately:
6 lights - arlec grid connect a power board - arlec grid connect printer - brother smart tv 2 Telstra tv plus 2 computers, 2 mobile phones and 2 google home mini
when I ask google to turn on a light she says "sorry that light is unavailable. try setting it up again" however i can use my phone to turn it off/on..
I have spoken to Telstra who are very unhelpful, and they say i can have 6-8 devices connected. i am wondering if this is the problem.
now comes to my question.. if I purchase a hub will it fix my problem?
i am not sure how they work but think it is something like this....
I connect the hub to my Wi-Fi/modern and then connect my lights and other devices to the hub? there for having on 1 device (the hub) connected to the Wi-Fi instead of the 15-20 I have now? therefor having all devices connected and working all the time and freeing up my Wi-Fi.
Can anyone recommend a hub that is compatible with your arlec grid connect devices? eg google nest?
thanks for taking the time to read and hope you can offer some advice.
"Does Grid Connect work with Google? Yes, but you will need to link your Google Home account with your Grid Connect account. You will still need to use the Grid Connect App to control scenes and automation."
