Looking to put my Hub3 into modem mode and use a high end netgear type router to boost signal speed in my house. I live a 2 up 2 down terrace so walls aren't particularly thick, but in the office which is opposite and above the router, I experience frequent disconnects and wifi signal dropping to one or two bars on my laptop.
I currently have my PS4 ethernet connected into the virgin hub. I have read that the ethernet ports become disabled after switching the hub to modem mode.
Question is what becomes of the ethernet connections? Do I plug them into the new wifi router's ethernet ports?
Thanks
Once you put the Virgin Hub into modem mode just one of the Ethernet ports will work - to connect your third party router to. Any Ethernet cables that go to devices then need to go to Ethernet ports on the third party router - so yes, the ethernet connections go to your new Wi-Fi router.

I know a bit about Wi-Fi, Telecoms, and TV as I used to do it for a living but I'm not perfect so don't beat me up... If you make things you make mistakes!
