Just received new Hub 4 about a week ago. It is appallingly problematic. Since being fitted it has consistently dropped out on both wi-fi and on cabled connections. All devices connecting to the Hub 4 have had loads of problems - mobiles, desktop PC (ethernet connected), laptops (wi-fi connected), TV connected though powerline devices, virgin TV online app services e.g. BBC iPlayer, YouTube, netflix, amazon prime etc. and PlayStation.
Held for ages trying to get through by phone so thought I would try here. From other people having problems I assume you need BQM and router logs - see below
My BQM - Ignore the 100% packet loss, this was where we have had the router turned off to reduce its temperature. By the way its no better after its been off overnight - starts dropping out immediately.
Interestingly the router became unresponsive a number of times when trying to login and download the logs.

I got a Hub 4 about the same time as you. I also had Hub 3 with no issues at all. I am now experiencing an unreliable connection that drops out. The speed when it works is good. I regret the upgrade & VM won't switch me back. It's unpredictable so I wasn't sure if this was just happened to coincide with a general drop in broadband in the area. However, I never had any problems at all with Hub 3 never even thought about it.
Will be interested to hear how you get on and if the improvement stays for you.
