Virgin Media Home Network?

[ichiha68]

Hi guys are able to give me some advice on a set up?

I’ve got a virgin media super hub 3 downstairs at the back of the house however get poor WiFi signal upstairs towards the front. I would like to add Ethernet connection/s upstairs at the front for an office whilst also improving WiFi in that area.

The current super hub has 3 ethernets currently connected (tv,Xbox and TiVo)

What would you recommend? I’m a total noob when it comes to networking.

If you want more ethernet ports from the Hub - just get an unmanaged ethernet switch with 1GB ports - 5-8 port ones are <£20 e.g....

Then, upstairs use a wireless access point with additional ports - like the one below. Use Cat6a cable if you can it has better shielding from interference.
