Hi
I have just moved into a property and the broadband box is in the living room opposite side to my sons bedroom. In the previous house virgin put it into his bedroom so he could have Ethernet cable run straight to his ps5 we have upgraded to the 1gbph package but can see a significant effect on his gaming.
Forum TeamHi Zoe6389,
Thanks for your post, sorry for the delay getting back to you.
Are you currently having issues with the connection or have things improved since?
Let us know if we can assist at all 😊
Hi

Yes VM can move the hub to a better location, ie, your son's bedroom at a cost of £25 and hence allow him to connect via a cable, which is always, always a better experience than using WiFi. The thing to consider though is this, if the Hub were to be moved, it would (probably) mean a worse WiFi performance in the room it is currently in? How much is completely impossible to say, unfortunately, until it happens, might this be a problem?
So that's one alternative, another is to simply purchase (Amazon?) a long enough ethernet cable, and run it between the hub's current location and your son's room. Yes, I know, it'll look as ugly as sin, trailed through your house, thorough doorways etc, so it might not be realistic.
Your call really.
John
