Another Hub 5 user with latency issues...
I know some people have had issues with the Hub 4 as well, but I have not long moved from a Hub 4 to a Hub 5, because I wanted the 2.5G port to benefit certain devices and max out the connection. I never experienced an issue with the Hub 4 and I had very consistent ping times of 6/7ms and latency on both download and upload <18ms at all times. However, since getting the Hub 5, I have have worse latency and awful latency spikes. Speed is on point, but latency sucks. Sites that measure buffer bloat have downgraded me from an A to B rating and low latency gaming is suffering. My kit: Hub 5 in modem mode > 2.5G eth port > OPNsense box with ample capacity. I use Unifi access points (all testing done via cable anyway). Even if my kit were the issue, which it is not, I would have had the same issues with the Hub 4. So much for Virgin's latest DOCSIS hub. If I had known it was going to be this bad, I wouldn't have bothered getting it. Before anyone asks - nothing else on my network has changed, I literally swapped it out with the Hub 4 and now I have this. Any ideas? Can I get a new hub to see if that does it?Solved727Views0likes48CommentsHub 5 and PlayStation Portal problems
Hi. I have gig1 broadband with a hub 5. everything works great, apart from my new PlayStation Portal. It’s continuously disconnecting,stuttering and totally dropping out, and this is within 20 metres of my hub. I’m quite tech savvy and have done everything I’m supposed to do including have my ps5 connected via Ethernet , reset and reconnected both PS5 and Portal. I have heard that two things can affect performance and I suspect it’s one or both of them. People have said the auto switching of hub 5 between 2.5ghz and 5ghz can affect it, and that I should have only 5ghz on, but if I do that my two booster pods do not work as they require auto switching to be on. is there a way to bypass the booster pods when it comes to the portal? Could this be the problem or something else? I’d be very grateful for any suggestions.962Views0likes9Comments
