Virgin Hub 5 or 5x - modem mode or WiFi off
So I've joined Virgin media. My fixed line speeds locally have been 15mbs and so I've been using 5g broadband via Three with good speeds, however their network is pretty unreliable.
I believe I'm getting FTTP via XPON, there's a large black box on the nearest pole.
Does this dictate what router you'll get the 5 or 5x.
I've been using a Deco mesh in access point mode , so no real need for modem mode, but on my 5g router I have disabled WiFi which is recommended for access point mode.
On the Hub 5 I've read that WiFi keeps coming back on if disabled. Can you disable WiFi on the 5x and does it suffer the same problem?
We have a Hub 3 in Router mode Wi-Fi is enabled + two Wi-Fi Access Points = 3 APs in total.
For a Wi-Fi Mesh in Access Point mode there is no technical reason why
the VM Hub 5x (or GSM Router) can not also operate its Wi-Fi giving one more Wi-Fi 6 AP for free.
