This is a weird one and somewhat unexpected.
I've just upgraded from M500 to 1Gig and plugged in the new Hub 5 to replace the existing Hub 3 in my lounge.
I use 4 Asus Mesh routers to get coverage around the house (Victorian with high ceilings and thick walls) and was used to getting 400-500+ in my "office" using my PC over Wifi and pretty much 300+ over Wifi in most places using other devices
So I put the Hub 5 in place, set it to modem mode, rebooted my Asus routers and my Wifi speeds have dropped. the BEST I've seen in the office on my PC is 300 (against the 400 - 500+ I used to see) and in my lounge on my phone the best I've seen is 420 rather than the (490 - 540) I used to.
Meanwhile the Hub 5 reckons it's getting over 1Gig incoming.
Just to reiterate; the only piece of equipment which has changed is VM Hub from the old 3 to the new 5. Everything else is the same.
Anybody had this problem before and have any suggestions?
Cheers

Out of interest which RJ45 port are you using on the Hub5? One of them is 2.5Gb and I wonder if auto negotiation is causing an issue?

I was using the 2.5Gb but swapped to one of the 1Gb which seems to have resolved the issue
