Hub 5 Installation

[SteveMoores]

Hi

I have just received my hub 5 and two TV 360 boxes.

My current installation has my existing older VM router/hub in the study which is fed from a white box inside of the study.

There is a brown box with a splitter that then runs two cables from it to the lounge and kitchen where we have two more white boxes which used to feed two older tv boxes.

we sent the tv boxes along with coax cables back when we cancelled our tv subscription. We have now taken up full fiber and two new boxes...

so loads of questions.

The new kit comes with a single splitter which would allow one to be fed to the tv box coax input. If they have only supplied one coax cable how is the second to be connected?

this also assumes that the router is close to the tv which i told them it wasnt.

So do i just connect the white cable coming from the white box in my study to the inpit on my new hub 5?

then get two cables to connect the two tv 360 boxes in the lounge and kitch to the two other white boxes in the associated rooms?

Alternatively, are the outputs from the 3 boxes the same? i.e could i just simply move the new router / hub 5 to the lounge by the tv and connect via the provided splitter cable?

then use the white cable that is currently feeding my old router in the study and use that to connect the white box in my kitchen to the tv 360 box in my kitchen?

hope that makes sense..

i guess my questions / answers all hinge around asking the question if the signal coming out of the 3 different white boxes are all the same?

There is no difference in wall sockets and cables, so you can freely connect any device to any socket. So, in the lounge connect a cable to the socket and the hub and 360 box to that cable via the splitter, and connect the box to the hub with an Ethernet cable. The coax cable from the study can be used for the other 360 box in the kitchen. Note that this box will also need to be connected to the hub with either an Ethernet cable (best) or by WiFi.
