A device like this would avoid building damage and you can take it with you when the time comes to move on : https://www.screwfix.com/p/tp-link-tl-wpa7517-kit-dual-band-av1000-powerline-adaptor-kit/793rn Re: Why '16 qam' & not 64qam? 16 qam indicated there is a noise issues affecting that upstream channel. Unless there is a loose or damaged coax cable in your system there is nothing you can do about it plus with 5 channels connected it may not make a noticeable difference to regular internet activities. Re: New Ubuntu Laptop and wifi speed issue Yes fall back from the faster 5GHz band to the slower longer range 2.4 GHz band is automatic and occurs are different points for each Wi-Fi device. 99% of Wi-Fi issues are due to total failure to invest in a suitable Wi-Fi network for the space you have or the needs / expectations you have. We have a VM Hub in Router mode + 2 Wireless Access points, and network sockets in 4 rooms ... we have good Wi-Fi across a home of a dozen rooms on two levels. We also have a couple of HP USB3 to Gigabit network adaptors for the modern slim laptops that lack a network port, these give rock solid connections for MS Teams & Telegram video calls & using an Epson network scanner. Re: Can no longer split 2.4 and 5 Ghz Once you have re-split the SSIDs ... DO NOT install the VM Connect app on any of your devices or the SSIDs will be re-merged without warning. Re: New Ubuntu Laptop and wifi speed issue If other devices upstairs are returning 80Mb/s download, they are on the 5GHz band. You mention the Ubuntu laptop has a low power Wi-Fi adaptor ( that is unusual ) and that its speed was worse with the Hub 3 on 2.4GHz channel 6 than on 11 i.e. the Ubuntu laptop when up stairs is using the slower 2.4GHz band unlike other kit that is on the faster 5GHz band. If upstairs is at the fringe of Wi-Fi reception the Ubuntu laptop on 2.4GHz is at a considerable speed disadvantage. Consider improving the Wi-Fi coverage in the upstairs of the house so the Ubuntu laptop can revert to the faster 5GHz band. Re: SPAM filter putting people at risk? VM : How to stop spam emails Re: Pods speed Connecting a VM Pod via a network cable looks like a way to create a network loop. Has anyone tried this and confirmed that it does work and does, or does not result in flooding your LAN with spurious traffic ? Re: Trespass Do the work yes. But to "gain access" unannounced ? I can see why the person is irked at the lack of proper notice. Re: Black WiFi pod not synch after Hub 5 upgrade VM Pods they are quite the most egregious experience you can have for free ! Contact VM and get them to re-pair the VM Pod to the replacement VM Hub, you can not do this. Re: Request hub 5 upgrade. Reads more like a signal issue or local service fault.
