    HomeKit Philips Hue and Apple Home App No Longer Sync with Each Other?

    I used to be able to make changes in the Apple Home app (changing the name of a room for example) and the Philips Hue app would give the option to sync changes. Since the latest Hue app overhaul it seems this is no longer the case. Can anyone else confirm?

    Wireless bridge, extender, repeater, for Hue Bridge???

    I'm assuming there's a really simple answer for this. The wireless in my apartment is shared by many people. The router itself is in a very inconvenient location for me to physically access however the signal it provides works just fine. I need to connect the "Hue Bridge" to a router with an...
