Hello, I have been trying to access my new hub to change some settings but for the life of me, I cannot read what a certain character is on the bottom of the router. I have tried 8, e, and an a, all with no success. Each time I get the password wrong, it gets longer before I can enter another. Here’s hoping someone can help because this is very frustrating now.167Views0likes11CommentsIntermittent Signal in my area
For about a week now I have been experiencing frequent drop outs and speeds well below what is “guaranteed” by the gig1 fill fibre package and hub 5x. I called virgin media and was told they detect no issue, yet the problem has persisted. This WiFi package was only installed about 3 weeks ago and for 1 week it is has been dropping out.

I recently signed on for a new contract, it included a hub upgrade from 3 - 5. I had an existing pod which is now not compatible, after a lot of back and forth, they agreed to send me a new compatible pod. I have spoken with upwards of 10 members of the "customer support" team for an hour or more each time, every single person has lied, fobbed me off or actively abused me on the phone. I'm pretty tech savvy and committed to sorting a problem, but I've never had such a horrendous experience as this. The loop is just constant, get through explain the same problem, they don't get it, pass me to someone else, who says they'll sort it, promises they'll call me back that it's being resolved, but nothing they can do on the phone, assurances...then nothing and it starts again. They apparently can't send any emails of evidence of what's been said or promised, they can't generate bills or contracts, they can't share what the status is of an issue and they don't have the contact details of any internal teams or staff....so essentially there is no customer service. Anyone manage to avoid the scam/doomloop and actually get something resolved?99Views0likes7CommentsASUS BE6500 via Modem Mode Hub5x
Hello you clever bunch of enthusiasts!! After our usual annual swap of accounts to get the the best deals, an inconvenience in itself. We have hit a road block support won't help with. Internet before modem mode working fine, after setting Hub5x to Modem Mode, going through the setup the new router asked about the connection type. I put Automatic IP and after 5 mins Im seeing the network map with Internet connected. But the laptop I'm testing on is showing connection (no issues) but won't serve pages on chrome. Virgin support says- as soon as Modem mode is on, we dont support you. Not even to confirm any technical specifications of the Modem. Ive seen people saying they have their 3rd party routers set up and working, I'd like to get this working to benefit from the full 1.16gbps I can see on fast.com. Is this something Im not doing right on the Router or a limitation / issue with the Modem mode of the Hub5x? Any help or advise would be truly appreciated 👏Solved179Views0likes28CommentsIntermittent packet loss and high latency
I was issued a new router (Hub5 I think) and upgraded to the gigabit service a couple of years ago and ever since I've suffered intermittent service problems. The symptoms are sudden high latency, usually accompanied by packet loss. Sometimes a reboot of the router will resolve it and other times I just have to wait it out for some hours. The last 24 hours have been particularly bad, I've had to restart the router three times. I've checked all the coax connectors til I'm blue in the face and spent hours waiting for an agent on whatsapp but they're just not interested unless the service is hard down. Is there some team that deals with issues like this? Maybe I just have a faulty router?84Views0likes9CommentsNetwork issues again
Loss of service for 2 days now. Unable to work due to this issue. Engineer out 8/7/25 but he advised this was a network issue and needs looks into by another team. Cant check anything on the app as it’s useless. Says no issues in area which is incorrect. Then when I try to run a test it says intermittent signal issues in area check back in 24 hours. How many days am I meant to wait. Home security also offline as this runs off my internet. App can’t connect to my HUB5. So clearly there are issues. I NEED THIS SORTED ASAP51Views0likes3CommentsVM Pod
When you have a VM Pod and upgrade to a new Router you can get the Pod relinked with the new router. I can see why this would require contacting VM or there'd be a whole load of VM Pods appearing on eBay after customers leave VM and try to sell a Pod they have. However I have two VM accounts and used Pods at both properties. Now I have stopped using a Pod at one property and changed to using an Access Point which gives better WiFi coverage. So even though under normal circumstances the unused Pod would be useless surely there must be a chance of linking the Pod from one account to another when both are VM contracts. Or is it the account/IP Address that are linked?Solved36Views0likes2Comments
