Apple Home app/Home HomeKit repeatedly loses contact with Philips Hue hub devices

Apple app home/HomeKit keeps on losing contact with Philips Hue hub devices. My Philips Hue hub has been connected to the Apple Home/HomeKit app with great success until recently when after iOS 26 update it now repeatedly loses contact and I get feedback that devices on Apple home are not responsive. I reset Apple home, reinstall the hub, but within days it loses contact any ideas out there

Thanks, that helped. I think my problem lies in the fact that because of getting my signal around my apartment I have a Google mesh system that is at times not very stable. The hub is connected to the Google mesh and Google mesh sometimes goes down. Resetting my router and Google mesh has for the meantime solved the problem. At the same time I've got a feeling that much of the instability has come after the introduction of iOS 26.
