According to Virgin Media I made the fatal mistake of having my own Mesh system for WiFi. On Sunday I noticed my Internet access was rather sluggish so I checked my broadband speed and discovered it was around 80MBits/sec. Which surprised me since my contract says I have a 1GBit/sec connection. As I have set my Hub5 in modem mode and use a Tenda Nova 12 Mesh as my router I checked the modem speed when I attached a PC directly to it and it was as expected. I phoned VM customer service and was told that VM did not support the Hub5 in modem mode and I should put it in router mode asap. I did ask if VM didn't want customers to use Modem mode then why have it as an option but he avoided answering. He did say that he'd set the Hub back to router mode remotely but I told him I'd thing about it. Later when I tried to connect to the Hub using 192.168.100.1 it failed. So I tried to connect using 192.168.0.1 and it failed. I reset the Hub to the factory settings and set it up again but this time in router mode and used a Pod I'd replaced, because it kept failing, to cover the whole home. It worked but wasn't as good as the Nova Mesh system.
Now I've noticed that the connection to my Broadband keeps dropping and when I used iperf3 to check my LAN I got this-

Any idea what's going on?
