Hi All
I received an email on the 19th Feb saying Virgin had updated my Hub 3 so it would perform better.
Since that date I cannot connect from any device to my netgear x2700 wifi extenders when they are connected to my Hub.
I have restarted/factory reset both of them and then reconnected to my Hub 3 via WPS. The lights indicate that this works and that they are connected to the Hub 3.
However, when I try to connect from my phone/chromebook/pc, it cannot connect and I get a network failure message?
Is it simply coincidence that I get that email and then my two extenders both have the same issue? Or has the Hub 3 update changed the way that extenders have to connect?
Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I’d try splitting the two WiFi bands on the hub by giving them different SSIDs.
