VM Connect cant find hub4

I also am having issues connecting to my Hub4 since upgrading 1gig broadband this week, BM connect can’t connect and the speed is frequently showing slower than when I was on 350 gbps broadband, I am paying more and getting less! Can you help please Steven?

  • Thanks for reaching out to us Blitts, and welcome back to our Community Forums!

    Sorry to hear of the difficulty faced when trying to sync the Connect App to your Hub 4.

    Can you please confirm if you have performed a pin hole reset on the hub since the issuing of the new hub?

    It may be worth doing this, after logging out of the Connect App and then clearing the cache on the application to then allow the reset process complete and then logging back in to see if the App will sync to the hub for you

    Thanks,

      Thank you I haven’t had a new hub, it’s my original hub 4 about 18 months old, I have reset it twice and someone on the chat sent through some settings.  But still seeing varying speed through the wired connection, not getting over 700mbps. I was advised to wait 24 hours and things should settle down but that was 3 days ago, no improvement.

       

      Still can’t connect to VM connect either, says the router can’t be found. I could before upgrading to 1gig, not sure if it’s a coincidence.

        Thanks for coming back to us Blitts, have you possibly tried to run a speed test on the connection with the hub in modem mode and using a Cat 6 or above Ethernet cable?

        This will determine exactly what speed we have going into your property.

        Have you also tried clearing the cache on the Connect App?

        Thanks,

      I have a 5e cable says1gig on it but have ordered a new patch cable to see if that helps. Not sure what mode my hub is in, I can’t connect with VM connect or using the IP address to go into the settings from my browser.  I have cleared the cache and reinstalled the app many times.

      Looks like the router is getting the speed I am expecting. To the hub but not beyond.

      on the current patch cables I’m getting g below, will see if the new cable makes a difference .


      Ps5 plugged direct 777mbps

      deco mesh, plugged  direct 668mbps

      Still not able to see in vm connect or through 192.168.0.1 after entering the password I just get a white screen.

    Realspeed test is fine, the 450 Mb/s is more than plenty for any Wi-Fi device !

    "after entering the password I just get a white screen"

    Your Hub 4 (like many other Hub 4) has suffered AMDS (admin menu death syndrome).
    VM are well aware of this on going issue with Hub 4 in Router mode.

    Only a 60 second press of RESET, then leave the Hub 4 powered on to revert to the shipping condition may restart the Admin Menu and the VM Connect app & any VM Pods. This is a temporary fix, don't be surprised if the Hub 4 is back in the same condition within 10 days.

  • From the description looks like I may also have AMDS (admin menu death syndrome). How do virgin fix this issue ? I am waiting for their team to action an open ticket but have little faith

  • Hi Blitts 

    Thanks for coming back to the thread.

    Can you do a 60 second PIN reset for me on the router with a pen or similar, then try and access the 192 website.

    Keep me posted.

      Hi, I have done another 60 second reset, I get to put my password in but then I just get a white screen I can’t do anything with my hub at all. Tried the app after, it still can’t see the hub either.

        Sorry to hear you're still having some issues with the Connect app Blitts, so I can get a few more details from you I've popped you over a private message.
