Re: Virgin Hub 5 + Eero Pro + Virgin WiFi pod
Quick update incase anyone was following this thread. I moved the eero into the hallway by running a Cat 6 cable across the side of the backroom (used some wood coloured cable tidy from amazon, looks great) Im now getting speeds of 650+ on my Mac and iPhone on the front room which was a dead spot nightmare, internet is very stable, best it's ever been. I think If you live in an old victorian house with an extension you are best only having a single door or room between your eeros and end points. Im now very happy with my purchase.1.5KViews1like0CommentsRe: Virgin Hub 5 + Eero Pro + Virgin WiFi pod
Ok, so I have it all setup and have moved my Eero away from my modem and a little closer to the door of the back room. So far its nowhere near as good as the Hub 5, My Mac which is in the far corner of my front room and the one I have most issues with normally gets 100-200 meg with the Hub 5, but is spotty as it will drop to 1-5 meg sometimes, now with the Eero Im only getting 20-30 meg but seems more stable. So at the moment it looks like the Hub 5 is a better option, Im going to give the Eero a few days before I send it back as I read that it takes a few hours/days to set in and configure. BTW, I did test my phone in the same room as the eero and I was getting 599 download, if I walk a few metres into my front room, I only get 30-40. I thought the transmitter would be way better on the Eero but it looks like the hub 5 was doing the best it can. Yes, I can get a 2nd eero to boost, but I think due to the disappointment of the single eero, I dont think I will bother.1.5KViews0likes0CommentsVirgin Hub 5 + Eero Pro + Virgin WiFi pod
Hi Guys. I live in a small garden flat and the Virgin media modem comes in via the bedroom at the back. Most of our internet access is done from the front room and sometimes the garden but all it takes is to have a door or two shut between the router and the front room for my speeds to drop incredibly, I have 1gig internet and with both doors open I can normally get 3-400 meg downloads on my Mac and phones etc, however when I close either of the two doors between the room and the router it drops right down from 5-30meg. it’s an old Victorian terrace so the walls are very thick, I recently got sent a WiFi pod which I have put in the hallway, this has helped a lot but we still get low speeds with the door closed and even intermittent internet with the doors open sometimes. I see today that Amazon have a prime deal on the Eero pro. If I connect this to my Hub 5 do you think it will improve my signal. Will I need an extender or will the Eero pro connect to the Virgin WiFi pod? has anyone if experience with swooping the hub 5 with a single Eero pro? btw, my current home home hub is in a clear unobstructed area fairly high up.2.3KViews0likes10CommentsBBC 4K UHD on the stream box
Hey peeps. Ive tried searching for this question so I apologies if it’s already been answered. I’m trying to work out if UHD content is available via the BBC app via stream.? Programs like planet Earth 3 for example. I have a 4k Panasonic TV and when watching Planet Earth 3 for example the TV says it is outputting at 3840x2160 but is it just up scaling? anyone confirm?

Can I ask, if I already have an old o2 account, but I am a new (3 months) Virgin Broadband customer, can I get volt at no extra cost? Because virgin customer service told me I HAVE to sign up to a new 02 account through virgin to qualify. I thought it was for existing customers of 02?4.5KViews0likes0Comments
