Re: Hub 5 - 160Mhz won't set?
Thanks for the assistance, it took a while for the hub to finally come to its senses after disconnecting the pod. Before it did I could even turn off 2.4Ghz, I have now managed to acheive what I wanted. While I'm aware these hubs are hit and miss and modem mode is pretty much the way to go I'm pretty sure theres an issue in my area and getting that diagnosed whilst in modem mode using third party kit is just not going to happen. I've just been made aware I've got to move address soon and can't imagine where I'll be heading next is going to be in Virgin's coverage so will probably not be an issue for long.1.6KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Hub 5 - 160Mhz won't set?
OK back again, I took one of Virgin's new wifi pod things even with it off and the hub reset the wifi settings are now stuck in stupid mode. - Can't change wifi settings, bandwidths are reduced and WPA2 is forced? Absolutely regret getting this **bleep**e.1.7KViews0likes0CommentsHub 5 - 160Mhz won't set?
So I've a new Hub 5 on Gig1, I have many devices support WiFi 6 and wan't to get the best out of them however when I configure the 5Ghz band channel width to include 160mhz it reverts back to 80mhz after clicking apply. Anybody else having this issue and is their a fix yet?Solved1.9KViews0likes5CommentsRe: Get the most from your Gig1 service and Hub 4
Had the new Hub 4 with Gig1 for two weeks.... dissapointing. Despite the toted Wireless specs above, I had better performance for 5Ghz from other 3x3 (this is 4x4) routers, as has been said in the comments above the Router on this thing seems very inconsistent and tends to bug out and slow down with packet loss becoming a usual thing daily from within the local (home) network. Alarmingly, Seem to be seeing packet loss issues between the internal modem and router. As for the again toted 'This means everyone in the house can download films and mammoth files, stream in Ultra HD and play games to the max, all at the same time' is also not true with the very things listed not possible. Xbox One connected via Cat6 Ethernet downloading game at 100-300mbps is brought to a grinding near halt due to a download taking place on iPad Mini 4 connected using Wireless AC 5Ghz. So I will be purchasing my own router, I guess, though I did pay £35 for this one, plus £62 per month (losing a long term customer discount) and I suppose once I switch to modem mode, I'll hope issues with packet loss dissapear, and also swallow the fact that I'll be losing out on >18% of the bandwidth I pay for (200Mbps) Also wheres the Gig? BT sells their Gigabit service as 900mbps, and users are able to test above that speed, Virgin, how can you sell something not acheivable apart from one website that seems to always acheive over a Gigabit when everything else is struggling with even 100megabit.... Just saying! Suggestion: I guess it's going to be a long wait for the next shambles of a Hub to be reveiled however maybe make sure it has atleast a router that can route and a 2.5Gb ethernet port.24KViews8likes0Comments
