Re: Worthwhile to Pursue An Engineer/Technician Visit?
Spirit, While VM are sorting their network issues, you should probably check & clean browser clutter on your PC. I have found similar Hub to Computer issues, especially when my browser cache has not been cleared for a while. Try "ccleaner" free version & do a manual cleanup or cookies & history. It should leave your bookmarks, passwords, etc intact. Your Samknows tests are exactly as they should be, so another PC test is to use the Speedtest Windows app instead of a browser to check performance. Pete35Views1like0CommentsRe: wireless?
You could use an "hdmi wireless link" from the TV Box to the TV, but then the TV Box would still be in it's original location !! Not an issue if you're using the wireless remote, but IR line-of-sight challenge for the older DogBone IR remotes. (Note: the V6 hardware is the same as the 360, so you can pair with the newer RF remotes) Easiest solution is to use a Stream Box for the re-located TV.66Views0likes3CommentsRe: Constant problems after moving to Hub 4
The Upstream levels are actually good, so what you need is a "forward path attenuator" to bring the downstream lower by 6-10db. Do NOT let them use a generic wideband attenuator, because that will mess up your upstream levels & cause more issues.30Views0likes0CommentsRe: VPN
This statement "This way, you remain hidden on the internet and snoopers can’t track your online activities, let alone steal your information to use it against you." must be one of the biggest untruths about VPN's. Using a work VPN does provide security between your laptop & the work IT systems. Using other VPN's for generic internet access simply means your connection is secure from your laptop to the VPN providers location. The connection from there to whatever website you are using is only using standard protocols. The "snoopers" are probably the remote website anyway (FB, X, etc.)49Views2likes0Comments
