I have the 1gig service with a Router 4.
cabled from router to MacBook Pro M1 I get speeds of almost 1gig but when using WiFi it varies in the low 20s or on a good day 400Mbps I only get the higher speeds late at night. When others aren’t on line.
This is not what I expected.
I have been told by Virgin it’s due to WiFi interference in my home. Where ? What from? How can I reduce it?

The WiFi output from VM hubs is notoriously feeble and you are better off using your own premium router from Asus or Netgear with the hub in modem mode.

Thanks I did wonder about that. I put the VM4 into modem only and connected an old Apple AirPort Extreme but that has a delivery capability of about 40mbps only.
tomorrow I will purchase a modern router as you suggested.
thanks

You can't use any other modem then the hub in modem mode so you need just a router

Thank you John,
at 70 plus I am rather a Luddite on all the pitfalls of the correct equipment so I really appreciate your input. Thank you again.

Thank you for that reply. When using the cable it is because the virgin4 router will be converted to act as the modem. The WiFi in that case is turned off. So the cable goes to a more powerful router that is the start of a house mesh grid with statute repeaters.
