Re: How to get the most out of your Hub 3.0 WiFi
Great advice regarding location of the router, except that it can only be one Virgin cable length from the fibre inlet, which for me and I suspect most people, means not a great deal of choice. With the router of necessity near the front door, it reports low wifi signal with 80% of the wireless devices in the house; and we get some dropoffs. This is disappointing; I now have Bolt-speed broadband but weak wifi. The old Sky router sat happily in the middle of the house and delivered great wifi coverage into slow broadband. Do you have a recommended second device to extend the reach of the wifi signal? Alternatively, could anyone provide instructions as to how to reconfigure my 'old' Sky SR102 router - to act as a second wifi node? (After a couple of hours googling and trying I have given up on that plan - the Sky box seems to have a mind of its own. For anyone interested - I turn off DHCP in Advanced, press Save, whereupon it reboots; after which I can't access it again from laptop so can't check that it did what I told it to do. If I then plug it in and connect to the VM hub it works for a while but then we get a message from Sky saying Sky thinks the network is sick and Sky wants to self-repair it. Which is a bit spooky, and doesn't feel like a good way to go...) Both my neighbours have VM; as I live in a semi, one of them has their router on the other side of the wall, less than a metre from mine. Maybe we have a channel conflict; does VM have an app that shows me what channel theirs is running on? Thanks19KViews2likes0Comments
