Virgin Media hub 5 wifi 6 routers

[itsmedb]

I read that Virgin is due to launch the wifi 6 router in 2022 and the first priority will be to offer a wifi 6 router to all existing customers with a Virgin 3 hub.

Questions ;

1. Do you have a date when the wifi 6 router will be launched?

2. Do you have a date when existing customers with a Virgin 3 hub can register for a new hub 5wifi  6 routers?

3 Will there be a wifi 6 router customer register section within the Virgin Media website?

A clear 4-5ms increase in minimum latency showing on my BQM between Hub 3 and Hub 5.  Maximum latency of the Hub 5 is noticeably better through the small hours of the morning when area traffic is low, although that's not much use unless you're nocturnal.  Daytime results appear about the same, although did have a timeout that knocked out a Teams call yesterday with the Hub 5, haven't had any problems like that with the Hub 3.

I read some article last week that WIFI 6E is about to really come into its own soon with some additional features etc to bee added, my PC has had WIFI 6E/BT5.2 for 15 months or more (Intel AX210) so VM are again a little late to the party with WIFI 6 and Plume (who make VM's POD's) have had WIFI 6 Pods since early 2021 and I assume WIFI 6E models will materialise.

WiFi6E is WiFi 6 in the 6GHz (5925–6425 MHz in Europe and lots of other places; 5925–7125 MHz in the US) band.
The standard is otherwise the same.

I wonder if the issue of home phones has been sorted out with the HUB 5 yet ?

[Tudor]

Not been advised that it has.

Hi ST4,

Thanks for your post and welcome back to the community!

Can I ask you to expand on the phone issue you are facing?

Thanks,
