Seeing so many posts about Good, Bad & ugly Wifi, I thought I would post some suggestions for people out there. There are definitely good, midrange & poor routers with quite variable performance wifi. Never expect a mass market product to be the b...
N Warning: Long, dull, a bit technical. NHaving needed to repeat myself a few times, I thought I'd share my understanding of what you might find in a Hub 3's network log when things go wrong, and what it means. First of all, this post is based on my...

Hi my router keeps getting warmer each time I check on it. Is there anyway to ventilate it and/ or stop it over heating?It is already out of direct sunlight and my Internet is fine. It has sufficient space for air to come in and out. I've only had it...
Hi,A few weeks ago we were unable to access our business websites or our third party emails on Virgin Media WIFI but could on a three router and on 4G. An engineer came round and changed the router and all was fine.Then a few days ago all the connect...
I was sent a pod after contacting VM via what's app. It's been plugged in for 5 days now and I'm pretty sure it's not doing anything. Sometimes it flashes blue sometimes green. The instructions don't mention anything apart from plug it in and leave i...
