Reset taking too long

Hi. Found myself unable to reply. No, I pulled the plug out and restarted it all over again and it didn't take more than 30 minutes or so. Unfortunately, the reset didn't solve the problem which was that the iPhone was intermittently dropping out of my home wi-fi connection and I had to resort to using 3G when I was at home. I'd never had that problem before but I had just bought a new iPad air 2 and the mobile got rather neglected for a while. Then within a short time I had the same problem with the iPad and it was nearly unusable. Strangely enough I didn't have a problem with either outside of the home environment using other's wi-fi. Many nights have passed and I have cracked it at last. There seems to be a conflict between BT Home Hub 5 and the new iPad which Apple have known about since September? I have only today reconfigured my Home Hub and now everything is running off of 2.4GHz instead of 5GHz, my MBA has speeded up and I am able to use the mobile on wi-fi and the iPad again. Who knew? I am a complete novice and although I managed to sort it out in the end it has taken up all my free time for the last few weeks and I am not too happy with Apple at all. If they knew about it why haven't they supplied a patch?
