there is also an additional Complication as to what firmware your Hub6 is using.
LG-RDK_7.6.20-2306.5 turns on Energy Efficient Ethernet which nobles the 2.5 Gigabit port on the hub, making it useless. But if your willing to buy a managed switch which turns EEE off by default. You can then get the full capacty of the port.
There is supposed to be a newer version available but this is not being rolled out quickly, I have been waiting since June. Make me wonder if Virgin are blocking people from using the headline speed. This has been reported on several websites as well.
Hi
I wonder if this is why my netgear rs200 wifi7 router wouldn't work when the hub6 was in modem mode and it was connected to the 2.5g port. Surely virgin should be getting this sorted and get an update scheduled immediately but then again it's been since 2024.
I wonder what their playing at
Thanks john

Hub 6 ????
I know of Hub 5 for Gig via Co-ax & Hub 5x which is the full fibre to the home, version for 2 Gig.
As someone else has suggested it may be worth checking if you can disable EEE for the Wan port. Cant find any information about this in the manual for the Nighthawk AX120 or your RS200

Hi
Sorry I was referring to the hub 5 for 1gig (don't know where hub6 came from). The settings are quite locked down on the netgear rs200 series I don't think you can turn off EEE. That must be the issue because it worked when I had my rax500 nighthawk router and that was before this update.
As I have suggested surely virgin need to get this fixed
Thanks
