Help! I've overloaded the sky WiFi hub... (I think)

[ssmacc]

Hello,

I think I've overloaded the Sky WiFi router! (is that a thing?), as you can probably tell I'm unsure

I have lots of Alexa devices / smart bulbs / PC's / Smart Plugs etc all connected via WiFi (actually, the PC's are wired). After installing a couple more smart bulbs the WiFi has disconnected some devices and will not reconnect, for example my phone appears to be "black listed", I have three routers in repeater mode and my phone connects to all but does not get a internet connect, whereas other devices do? (it seems random).

Would a smart hub of some description take the pressure off the Sky routers WiFi? I think (please correct me if I'm wrong), one of the advantages of a smart hub is WiFi devices connect through the smart hub and only one connection (wired) goes to the Sky router. Therefore, limited devices are connected via WiFi to the Sky router? is that correct?

If so what smart hub would you recommend on a Cyber-Monday? I'm thinking of the Alexa with a built in Smart Things?

Thanks in advance,

It's the latest one, seems to be ok now...performed a factory reset...I suspect I'm close to capacity, one of the Sky mini box's said there was a problem with obtaining a IP address, just checked the router and I've got:

Attached Devices
IPv4 Address = 47
IPv6 Address = 21

As I say, seems ok now, but is my original post correct would a Hub help?

I know I said a Alexa but I'm considering a Hubitat...

Again any advice appreciated.

How large is the DHCP pool? Is it configurable?

Assuming I am following you, it's the standard

2-254, does that sound about right?

Cheers
