A HUB4 would not have a 2.5gbps port and some VM staff still peddle that HUb4 is fine for gigabit as connection shared with WIFI devices. Many people asked for HUB5 due to 2.5gbps port so it might be management's idea of stopping it.

And not a single reply from VM staff on this, because they have no idea what we are talking about as they are technically incapable. The simple reply they need to give is “we’re very sorry for destroying your home networks and all the wasted time working this out for yourselves with zero help from us, we’ll roll back the firmware until it is resolved”.
