Re: Critical error in Hub while in Modem Mode
We need the Upstream as well, thanks. Also setup a BQM to monitor the incoming circuit from VM http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping What is supplying the network at the moment if the Hub is in Modem mode? Is this device(s) working as expected?37Views0likes1CommentRe: Ordering WIFI Pods NIGHTMARE!
VM only guarantee 30Mb over Wifi. As long as you haven't changed the "out of the box" settings on the Hub, the Pods will work. If you have made any changes to the Wifi setup, for IoT devices for example, the Pods will not work. Your own statement about buying your own Wifi solution hit the nail on the head.11Views1like0CommentsRe: Streaming a nightmare

Just think of the 10 minute ad break as time to make a cup of tea?19Views0likes0CommentsRe: Newly built properties cabling while the building works still ongoing

If not, I guess the standard "conduit and pull rope" might suffice.6Views0likes0CommentsRe: Newly built properties cabling while the building works still ongoing
For 99% of installs it's up to you where the VM cable enters the property. For cabled areas there is a box on the outside wall and the cable generally enters the property there. For FTTP areas I believe the box is located inside the property beside the Hub. There is no longer any co-ax cable stapled all around the inside. The TV for new installs is via IPTV, so over Wifi or ethernet cable. Note VM do not do any ethernet cables, this is all up to you. For a new build/refurb I strongly suggest you get the electrician to install ethernet cables and run them all back to a central location, e.g. under a stairwell etc. This would be where you would want the cable from VM to enter and locate the Hub. Wifi can be provided by PoE access points located around the property. It really is a good time to get the property sorted for the future as all this work can be done prior to plastering etc.13Views1like0CommentsRe: Newly built properties cabling while the building works still ongoing
New VM installs depend on the area. Some will be cable, some FTTP. Either way the new installs are really just from the outside to a Hub inside. TV is supplied by streaming via WiFi or Ethernet cable. Personally I would be looking at flood wiring the house with Ethernet cables and sockets. All terminating in a central location where the Hub will be placed, along with suitable switches. WiFi can be provided by Access Points connected to the flood wiring.29Views1like0Comments
