My hub 4 has no 2.4Ghz working. I've had this hub for a year now and it is only when trying to connect devices that only use 2.4Ghz I have realised it's not working. I am to believe it's a faulty hub as the router manager says 2.4Ghz is broadcasting when its obvious it isn't. I've done all the usual trouble shooting. Even a full factory reset to see if that has helped and this has caused 2.4Ghz to now transmit for maybe 5 to 10 minutes after a reset then disappears again.
5Ghz seems to work fine.
Any help would be appreciated

Thanks for confirming Ross_E_Boy,
I've had a closer look at things from our side, and a few of the hubs levels are out of specification so I'd like to arrange an engineer visit.
Before I can do this I'll need to confirm a few details with you, I've popped you over a private message (purple envelope, top right hand corner)

Many thanks

As it's not showing there, I am going to send you a private message, so we can confirm the appointment to you. Please look out for the purple envelope in the top right of your screen.

I am having this exact same issue with my Hub4 - the router settings say that 2.4 Ghz is switched on and working, but none of my 2.4Ghz only devices can connect, and I can't locate the 2.4Ghz connection. Virgin, please help!

Thanks for your post on our Community Forums, and welcome back @jessmlp!
Sorry to hear you're unable to locate and connect to the 2.4Ghz band.
Can you please confirm if you have split the bands on your hub?
If this is the case, it may be worth performing a reset on the hub to see if the devices can connect to the Wi-Fi services in areas of the property that would traditionally run on the 2.4GHz service.
Kindest regards,

Hi there, thanks for responding.
I tried splitting the bands based on advice I read on these forums but nothing seemed to work and it messed up the connection with other devices.
I don't know what you mean by areas of the property traditionally running on 2.4Ghz, as I have 2 devices that can only connect to 2.4Ghz (Kindle and Yoto audio player), and I don't want to be restricted to using these in only parts of my flat. These devices cannot locate the 2.4Ghz band or the 5Ghz band at present.

Thanks for coming back to us jessmlp, please could you try a pin hole reset of your hub and let me know if that improves anything at all. I'm hoping that this will refresh your hub and allow devices to connect to both frequencies.
If not, we can get this looked into further with a technician visit.
Kind Regards,

Hi there, I have already tried the pinhole reset and still it does not work
