What should work is the VM supplied RJ11 plug to BT socket adaptor, then a 15 meter phone cable with BT plug to BT socket. Re: DHCP Reservation DHCP Reservations or Static IP are not a fix for lack of Wi-Fi coverage to the CCTV camera. Re: WiFi Manager or Blocker app for Android? Try Hub 3 menu >>> Advanced settings >>> Wireless >>> Security >>> MAC Filtering Sadly VM marketing teams introduced the words: Wi-Fi Pausing, the correct term that has been used for decades is: MAC Filtering But you must realise this is as unreliable a way of stopping access for a laptop / mobile as securing an English Bull Terrier with an elastic band. Especially true for a mobile that will instantly revert to GSM mobile data, the user may not even notice what you tried to do. If you are looking for device timer controls, having laptops and mobiles out of the bedrooms after lights out is about the only policy that will give true piece of mind. Re: Superhub 3 Red Light Modem Mode It is also a well trodden campaign route ... Re: Blocked website parental controls We can test to see if VM Parental Controls are working. Perform a DNS look up of a website that you have listed to be blocked. e.g. nslookup www.youtube.com Copy and paste the entire text response into this thread so we can see the DNS that performs the lookup and the IPs that are returned. Re: Rustdesk server unavailable I can ping rs-ny.rustdesk.com via our VM connection in Colchester. Try a trace route to rs-ny.rustdesk.com it may expose a local routing problem. Re: Hub 5 flashing red Use a mobile hotspot if the task is so critical. Re: Parental Controls A few more things to check out that are not mentioned so far : 1) In the VM Online Account ( not the Connect app ) confirm you are able to set and save the list of websites to be blocked ? Or, do you have the most common VM Parental Controls problem of facing a web page error message when attempting to save changes to the settings ? 2) Is your VM Hub in Router or Modem mode because I don't expect the Parental Controls to work in Modem mode especially if the 3rd party Router is using a Public DNS. 3) What device are you testing on... By chance is it an Apple device that now have Apple Relay enabled by default ? Apple Relay is a form of VPN that will bypass Parental Controls. 4) Does the Public IP reported for your device match the IPv4 IP shown in the menus of the VM Hub ? The URL below must return the same IP as shown in the VM Hub and the ISP must be Virgin Media Limited https://whatismyipaddress.com/ If the ISP is not VM, a VPN or proxy are in play and Parental Controls will be bypassed. Re: Parental Controls To use the same Cloudflare Adult and Malware filters on an Android device set "Private DNS" to : family.cloudflare-dns.com Re: Virgin Media Start Opening FTTP Upgrade Areas to Existing UK Customers For RFoG to XGS-PON I was not expecting to see any more street cabinets. RFoG is already small cabinets containing no electrics just fibres and an optical splitter / combiners i.e. RFoG is a PON. The OMNI box has quite a spool of spare fibre in the back of it, there would need to be about 8 to 10 meters to make it to my office replacing the current coax.
