Hi,
I have looked around but have not been able to verify yet. Does anyone know if Virgin support 802.11ax / Wifi 6 and if so, do I need to ask them for a new router or download any software to the current router?
If virgin do support it, I wonder if they also offer a Wifi 6 extender or Wifi6 mesh equipment.
Thanks.

Virgin do not provide WiFi 6 equipment, you can however purchase your own to attach to the hub

Please give reason for why you want WiFI 6? Is just because it’s the last greatest must be faster so I need it now reason?
Also VM see to have an embargo on ‘6’ things, just look at IP6.

Sorry, I didn't think I needed to give you a reason for my actions or for my question.

You don't have to give your reasons, but it might help you to get a reasoned answer.

They just announced it

The Hub 5 has just been announced and it support WiFi 6. Its currently only available to people who get emailed from VM asking if they want to trial the device. You can't call up and ask to get one or put on the trial as the CS team won't know about it. The Hub 5 is due to be released on a wider rollout in 2022

I wouldn't bother. if you need it you would have bought it already.
wait another few years for the hub 6, then they will give you wifi 6e when the leading edge will be wifi 7.
