Ethernet Connection Speeds Hub 5X
Hi, I just switched from Sky to Virgin for faster speeds, as Sky capped us at 52mbps. Virgin just installed fibre (1132mbps), and while WiFi (on Virgin router) near the router is solid (around 800mbps), wired ethernet and mesh performance is disappointing with speeds sub 200mbps generally. Powerline connections are only hitting 20mbps (used to be 45mbps with Sky, so at least expect that as I realise powerlines aren't the best), UniFi mesh gets 120mbps, and even direct Ethernet into the Hub only gives 80mbps. All cables are CAT5e at a minimum, but I also bought some CAT8 cables to try and same result. Tried everything I can think of, modem mode with a Archer AR400 (similar speed of 80mbps), router reset, even swapped the Hub as engineer visited and agreed something’s off. Same results with the new 5X as well. Not sure what else to try other than maybe a different Hub model? Seems to be a few topics on the subject, but no one ever has an answer and the community boards tend to get closed off with no true answer. Hopefully someone can help. Thanks in advance!Unifi UXG Lite settings + Modem 5x 10gig
Super excited to get Virgin into the property (only 6-7 weeks late without internet..that's another story) and I was happily surprised with the plug-and-play nature of connecting the UXG Lite to the 10Gig port (yes, 10Gig, I honestly was expected 2.5gig). My issue happened when I set the Virgin Hub into modem mode (thank you to the person - sorry, I didn't record the name! - who shared the link as it's not available in the GUI (http://192.168.0.1/?page=modemmode), where post reboot and green LED, going to 192.168.100.1, went to nowhere. Checked Unifi and I could see that the G2 Plus can see the internet. It sees that there is the potential for a connection, but no joy on actually getting the connection. Context: Previously used PPPoE with BT G.Fast Changed to DHCP under IPv4 (v6 disabled) I had seen mention of choosing VLAN 6 for it to work..no joy Are there any specific settings USG, UDM or UXG users are using or can share for connecting in Modem-only mode?
