    Most folks are complaining their budget IoTs fail to work with the Wi-Fi 6 service of a Hub 5 & Hub 5x.

    You buy a Wi-Fi 7 Access Point,  it will help you perform a perfect iPhone speed test when sat on the khazi,
    and past that ...

    As far as I can find it’s £7 a month extra.

      Maybe they should go back to supply a internet connection box with one ethernet port for users to connect their own supplied routers, from an approved list.

      Waits for the screams.......

  • Wi-Fi 7 is relativley new tech, so any company taking it on this early is asking for trouble!

    If you believe Bacon, it will apparently make everybody’s devices work better …..  Don’t see how it will but I don’t work in advertising.  ðŸ˜‰

    LOL. VM can't even roll out HUB5 at no extra cost like they originally promised in their own press release!!! and you expect WiFi 7? Modem Mode then own router for WiFi 7. (XGS-PON customers a different matter as more harder due to lack of working modem mode)

        Only way to get WiFi 6 ax with VM is gig1 or during contract renewal with retentions. Sometimes it's offered in areas of high utilisation as hub5 uses discus 3.1 channel (and hub4).

  • Hub5 WiFi 6 test - Hub is 30 meters away trough 2 open doors. Mobile phone is 4 generations old and supports WiFi IEEE802.11a/b/g/n(2.4GHz)/n(5GHz)/ac/ax / Wi-Fi MIMO 2x2 which is also WiFi 6

    I think 433 is fast enough for my needs.

     

  • But can EE supply your address with Fibre broadband so you qualify to receive a WiFi 7 Capable Router?

    They can't in Warwick--.
