Re: WiFi poor optimisation
Placing Wi-Fi Repeaters / VM pods too far from the VM Hub is the most common reason they fail to work as expected. The VM Pod must be placed where there is a good signal from the VM Hub, if the VM Pod has been placed in a room with a very weak Hub signal the outcome may be considerably worse that having no VM Pod at all.27Views0likes0CommentsRe: Ethernet & wifi fails diagnostic tests
"reading about this firmware Ethernet bug on the forums" Had you been reading about Hub 5 & the 2.5Gb/s port, you would know not to use the 2.5Gb/s port unless you have disabled EEE on the connected device, you are not likely to be able to do that on a TV or a streaming TV device.22Views1like1CommentRe: Issues with my Hub 4
Try a 60 second press on RESET & then leave the Hub 4 powered on to revert to the shipping condition, this may restart the 5GHz band. VM Pods require Smart Wi-Fi to be Enabled. As you are heavily focused on the 2.4GHz WI-Fi devices, do be aware the Hub 5 with Wi-Fi on both bands is often not recognised by 2.4GHz Wi-Fi 4 only IoT / Printers / older laptops.24Views0likes0CommentsRe: No WiFi signal in my room – need wired WiFi access point or pod installation
Drilling walls and adding any type of wiring is usually prohibited in rental properties. 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/793rn22Views0likes2CommentsRe: 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.46Views0likes0CommentsRe: 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.29Views1like0Comments
