Hey everyone,
I have the Vodafone Pro II package with 2 additional boosters. Every device works just fine, except my MacBook Pro laptop, which consistently drops connection - but only when connected to a booster. It works just fine when connected to the main ultra hub.
The laptop is mostly used in the office upstairs, so naturally connects to the booster. Works ok for 5-10mins then stops working, it shows it's connected to the internet, but just hangs. The only way I can get it to work is to turn the wifi on and off on the laptop. Before I got the boosters, no issues at all.
I've been on live chat so many times to no avail and I'm running out of ideas.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Does this happen when you're connected to your WiFi in range of your router, or when using a wired connection @RichardR66?

Hi Mark, yes in range and connected to WiFi. If I’m in living room near ultra hub, it connects to that no problem and doesn’t drop connection. Upstairs connected by WiFi to booster, as it’s closer, connection keeps dropping.

That is a curious issues @RichardR66, I'd suggest speaking to our Home Broadband team and see if they can work out what is causing this for you. You can reach them be calling 0333 304 0191 from any UK line, or by using our online chat service.

Thanks Mark, I’ve lost count of how many live chats I’ve done with the team. No joy up to press. It has to be something to do with the booster but can’t put my finger on it.

If it's only happening with your Mac @RichardR66, the cause of the issue maybe connected to that and not the booster. If that's the case, our team may not be able to offer a permanent resolution.

Thanks Mark, I'm really not sure. I have no problem with the Mac connecting to the ultra hub and to other wifi, just the booster.
