Re: Hub5 2.4g cameras and sockets not working
The Hub 5 has Wi-Fi 6 on the 2.4GHz band, the implementation has serious compatibility issues that VM have never acknowledged, but years since the launch customers continue to report connection failures with their 2.4GHz IoTs, CCTV cameras, older laptops, solar power equipment, air conditioners, EV chargers and more. In the past better support for 2.4GHz only devices was successfully achieved by using a Hub 5 plus a TP-Link RE450 but with the known issues of LG-RDK_11.6.2-2410.1 this is not a sound recommendation at this time because it depends on the Hub 5 working reliably in Router mode. Given the repeated Wi-Fi and DHCP failure issues of VM Hub 5 on defective Software version LG-RDK_11.6.2-2410.1 this might just be an excellent time to consider using Hub 5 in modem mode and using a 3rd party router to gain Wi-Fi & DHCP stability and to allow a peaceful life to resume. If a VM Hub 5 is issued to us (we have a Hub 3), promptly buying a 3rd party Wi-Fi router and operating the Hub 5 in modem mode is how we would proceed.26Views0likes0CommentsRe: Ref: connect app
For 20+ years the process for blocking a device from a network has been ( & still is ) correctly known as MAC Filtering. Then mobile apps came along and marketing departments invented a new name Wi-Fi Pausing, not smart at all because it prevents many users from understanding what is happening. When Wi-Fi Pausing is used in the Connect app, the app just adds a corresponding MAC Filtering entry to the VM Hub.48Views1like0Comments
