Similar to my setup then as I have a Fonera+ router providing a FON hotspot so I get free FON access myself when out and about. I put an external antenna on it with the intention of using its private SSID in the garden. In the kitchen which is less than 10m from the hub and in direct line of sight my phone frequently loses the hub signal and connects to the Fonera+ instead through the house outside wall.

Of course my story like yours is completely irrelevant as WiFi is notoriously fickle anyway. That said the Fonera+ WiFi signal never drops yet the hub one often does and I find my phone on the Fonera when sitting right next to the hub.

I don't doubt that your hub is fine - mine is too apart from the sparse feature set which on a giveaway unit is understandable and the dodgy WiFi which is less so - as the WiFi problem seems to be widespread maybe it is a common hardware fault - do you think I should call in for a replacement?
