I have been able to connect a couple of times only and when close to the modem. When I'm upstairs I switch to the 5Ghz band. Although when it works you get very nice speeds as shown in the picture below.
It's possible you have discovered one of the limitations of wi-fi connections. Without doing a deep dive into the physics of wi-fi signals, this comment from Intel says it well.
There are many possible reasons for slow connection speed. Physical barriers, such as walls and floors, can affect wireless signals. The distance between the device and the access point and the number of devices using your Wi-Fi network will also impact connection speed. Even simple things like adjusting the height of your router off the floor can impact its performance.
Three main factors impact the speed of your Internet connection—the placement of the router, the technology, and the devices that are connected to it.

This is true for the various wireless protocols, as you have discovered. Your device drops it's connection frequency from 6Ghz to 5Ghz to 2.4 Ghz as it is further and further from your Giga Hub. Pods have the same behaviour. This is normal behaviour for any wireless connection I am told and is the result of the laws of physics, not failure of the carrier. The same behaviour is true, I believe, of cellular phones and their connection or Bluetooth devices.
