    VM are not great on compatibility or testing like 3rd party routers do so you might have to look at getting one with 1Gb ports or better and use hub in modem mode.

    If you are using a mobile to setup your Echo, make sure the mobile and Echo are on the same Wifi band, e.g.  5Ghz

      I've turned off the 5g band,so they were both on the 2.4g,amazon were less than helpful ,just wanted to sell ne a newer version.

        Some devices do not function when WPA3-SAE encryption mode is enabled on the Hub 5.

        In the Wi-Fi security settings try with just WPA2-PSK enabled.
