New Hub 5, won't connect, blue flashing lights. Hub 3 was fine!
I was sent a new Hub 5 to replace a Hub 3 (which was working fine). I've followed the instructions but it won't connect, it has a white light for a minute then turns to blue flashing lights which I believe means it's still setting itself up. I phoned to check it was activated and was told it is fine their end and would work in a couple of hours. It's now been 6+. I logged in to settings by connecting the hub to my laptop and it says "Requesting CM IP address". I've tried resetting several times. They have booked an engineer in a few days but I'm frustrated that everything was fine on the old hub (which now no longer works) and concerned the engineer might not be able to fix it on the day and I'll need to wait even longer. Does anyone have any suggestions of other things to try? Have I missed anything?
Hub 5 flashing blue
Hello I hope someone can help me here.. just recently got a new hub 5 delivered because my old one broke and now this one is constantly flashing blue for almost 2 days now 😞 I’ve called and emailed but no one is helping me. I’m guessing it’s something to do with the box needing activated or something? really hope someone can help me in this thread thank you so muchAssistance Needed: Unable to Connect New Router
Hello, I received the new router Hub5 yesterday but haven’t been able to connect to the WiFi. The box mentioned that I need to set it up within 5 days, after which the old router will be disconnected. I’m quite worried, as I work from home and rely heavily on a stable internet connection. I’ve checked the website for contact details but couldn’t find any, and now I’m not sure what to do next. I’d be very grateful for any help. Thank you.Moving Router to another room
Hi, i have recently signed up after moving home and wanted to have the router installed upstairs where it could be used via ethernet to make full use of the gigabit bundle i have signed up for. Unfortunately when signing up i was told there was no longer an option to have a technician come to install the router. Is it still possible to have someone come out and move the router? The wifi speeds are very low in most of the rest of the house and even a powerline adapter hasn't helped much. Any help with this would be appreciated as the bundle isn't really worth the cost as is.Virgin install - solid green light
I’ve just had Virgin installed (hub5x) and I have a solid green light. The engineer did his best but left saying it will hopefully turn white soon. He will keep me updated and I have his contact details so can contact him directly too. He was really helpful actually. It’s not like he fled and left me to it. Can anyone shed any light on the solid green light situation? Many thanksHUB 5 has been intermitent for over a month
Hello, my hub5 has been intermittent for over a month now. I have four engineers come out to take a look at the problem. First visit, the engineer said everything is fine made a few changes to some of the cables in the house to help with some noise. as some cables was leading to a terminal doing nothing. He believed it was a communial box issue. So-called about the box issue outside, and got sent another engineer, they just changed the cable at the back of the modem. third engineer came as they though the box was in my property, but I said it was the communial box. Fourth engineer arrived to replace the omni box instead, they checked and said it does not need replacing. I work from home, and the service that is being provided is not great. The internet being provided has been poor and the cause of the problem has still not been fixed after four visits. The internet is going offline every day, it's terrible during the day, and goes offline at night time. Mod Edit : Image removed due to containing personal informationslow speed to hub5
Hi All hopefully someone can help or advise on this issue that I have been experiencing since September 2024 i upgraded to the 1Gig package from my previous 350meg in Feb of 2024 along with this they also upgraded the hub from the hub3 to the hub5. Initially it was all fine for a while the hub was receiving the 1Gig speed coming into the home according to samknows/realspeed checker - then from September 2024 onwards the hub itself is not receiving anywhere near to that sort of speed. please see screenshot below - did this check while writing this post. i always get around 200 average coming into the hub5 for whatever reason. Virgin Media engineers have been out to my home on several occasions since this issue has started - i have had 6 visits so far till date and they still cant fix this speed issue. throughout these visits they have re-pulled the cabling with brand new cable on the outside, they also replaced the cabling internally with new cable, they have also checked the cabinet on several occasions, also have replaced the cable box on the inside of the home, and have also replaced the hub5 once so far BUT the issue still exists... still not getting the 1Gig speed... i am frankly fed up with this i feel like i should be entitled to some sort of compensation as the agreed speed is not being delivered to the hub itself thus is a breach of contract. during my time on the 350meg package on the hub3 i never had this sort of issue - always received the full speed coming into the hub - this has only been happening since upgrading to 1Gig if anyone else on this community forum has experience similar issues like this please can you assist in advising what can be done or how to resolve this issue, thanks!!Hub 5 Ethernet vs WiFi
Unboxed my Hub 5 today and set it all up correctly. Anyone have any ideas why when I plug 2 Ethernet cables into my hub the WiFi drops out every time without fail? I switched from the Hub 3 this morning with the same Ethernet cables and had no issues like this prior so I’m baffled why this is happening now? I either use my Ethernets for computers or WiFi for phones/TV. I can’t seem to run the 2 at the same time and I can’t find an answer as of yet. If anyone’s had a similar issue or a possible fix please help me out lolWiFi with Mobile Devices
I’ve noticed a few threads with issues around WiFi connecting to IPhones. I've been experiencing the same issues, however, my wife is on Android and having the same issue. We consistently have drop out on wifi with various apps buffering for ages. However, our Amazon fire stick seems to work okay. I’ve had two engineers out who can’t find any issues and even replaced the hub 5. It appears to work periodically, but will just stop and drop out frequently. I’m at my wits end as can’t find anything to resolve the issue. The last online chat resulted in Virgin sending us a WiFi booster, which I’ll try this weekend. As a last resort does anyone have any suggestions? We’ve had no issues for over a year, but something must have changed in the last 6 months as it’s complete hell now.Intermittent internet connectivity - FTTP Hub 5
I am writing to seek assistance with intermittent internet connectivity issues since recently switching to Virgin Media on a 2 Gb fiber plan. While generally the performance meets the expected speed and latency on speed tests, I experience frequent delays of 5-10 seconds in loading web pages. Additionally, voice and video calls suffer from inconsistent quality and I often have to hot spot off my phone to resolve, I work from home and its very meeting heavy and 2 out of 5 meetings I have issues. The issues persist on both wireless (even in close proximity to the Hub 5) and wired connections. I have also tried using my own wireless router with the Hub 5's Wi-Fi disabled, but the problem remains. An engineer recently visited after a two-day service outage/issue (caused by a local area/exchange issue). During the visit everything appeared ok, but the engineer noted a kink in the external fiber installation but stated it was not causing any issues but could need replacing in the future. I am wondering if this kink in the fiber could be responsible for the intermittent connectivity problems. Are there other potential causes or troubleshooting steps I should consider to identify the source of the issue? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, I've only been a customer for 20 days but considering terminating contract and going back to FTTC service from a different provider.
