Re: To extend wifi to upstairs room?
I got a cat8 flat patch cable from Amazon that easily tucks under the skirting boards. I then setup another cheap WiFi 6 router as a WiFi access point at the other end. This has the advantage of being able to turn off the WiFi when the Kids go to bed.54Views0likes0CommentsRe: Hub 5 (6months old or so) 2.4gHz WiFi stops
Simple solution is to use a separate router connected by cat 8 patch lead, does not look pretty but very effective with excellent range. I got a used one for £33 that i use for CCTV cameras on 2.4GHz.

When I had a Hub 3, I was advised to buy my own router and connect it to the Hub by cat cable. At that time I used a Netgear Nighthawk R8000 gaming router which had 2x 2.4 GHz & 3x 5.0 GHz WiFi channels allowing the household to connect devices to dedicated channels. A cheap WiFi 6 router such as the Tenda AC23 AC2100 Smart WiFi Router - Dual Band Gigabit Wireless (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08P741QWS?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1) is perfectly capable of providing what you need try searching Amazon resale for a cheap price.25Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cannot find 2.4GHz network so cameras & printer cannot connect
Login to the Hub (192.168.0.1) Go to Enhanced - Wireless Signal and make sure the 2.4 GHz is enabled. Disable the 5 GHz whilst you setup you camera, if linking it with your mobile the mobile has to be connected to the 2.4 GHz WiFi. This is how I setup my 3 WiFi cameras. Once you have setup the camera you can enable 5 GHz WiFi and login to it with your mobile. You will then be able to view your camera via the software.196Views0likes2CommentsRe: Service disruption and updates.
Just received the update to this version of the Firmware LG-RDK_11.6.2-2410.1 on the 17/10/2025 02:27:23. Still get the security warning when accessing 192.168.0.1 Just wondering if this fixes the 2.5 GIG port and EEE? I switched to using a managed Switch 2 years ago which has EEE off by default.161Views0likes0CommentsHub 5 Firmware Update on 17/10/2025
