Device connects to WiFi but not Internet? Hub 4
I’ve got a new Roberts Revival radio that I can connect to our Virgin Hub 4, but despite connecting to the WiFi network, the device seems to not be able to connect to the internet. This is isolated to this one device, all other devices connect to the Virgin WiFi and internet perfectly fine and I’ve never had this issue with any other device so unsure what could be going wrong. The device is able to connect to the internet fine when I use my local iPhone hotspot WiFi, or connect to one of our BT WiFi extender discs so assuming it’s something specific to the way in which the device is interacting with the Hub but can’t for the life of me work out what might be going wrong! Any advice would be much appreciated, I’m very much a rookie at diagnosing with WiFi and internet network issues.Perceived Hub 4 Wi-Fi strength degradation
Hi - been using Hub 4 for about a year now, and until recently its Wi-Fi strength in all but the furthest locations of my house has been robust and stable. I'm running a combination of 2.4 and 5Ghz devices, with the 'cleverer' ones achieving dual-band. The hub's Wi-Fi signal is in default configuration, with Enable Channel Optimization enabled and channel selection is automatic for both frequencies. No complaints until maybe a month or so ago, when my Win 11 laptop that usually sits upstairs in my office started to become unable to stably handle the usual Teams calls, screenshares, etc. Meanwhile other 2.4Ghz devices in the same room as the Hub 4 will briefly go offline from time to time. The Hub has always remained in the same place - albeit behind the TV - and yes berate me for this - but it's been absolutely fine there for my needs. The Hub 4's Wi-Fi troubleshooting capability is pretty much nil and as a last measure have just resort to reserving all of the c.25 devices' IP addresses and increasing the lease time to 7 days to help cut down on DHCP chatter. Its temperature is always hot to touch but the diagnostic tool doesn't complain. I'm looking for options now - I don't think Pods will solve this problem, I've used a similar TP-Link solution and wasn't particularly impressed. Should I look to invest in my own wireless router and switch to Modem mode or should I seek to have an upgrade to Hub 5 with its stronger Wi-Fi 6 capability? Any advice welcome.
Hub 4 with no RF Signal after thunder storm
Just had a thunderstorm, and after what seemed like a very close bolt of lightning, my internet cut out. The Hub 4 said 'No RF Signal Detected', and eventually a red flashing light. I had tried powering it off again 4 times. No luck. I spent 90 minutes on the phone, being passed around to 4 different people, all just going through their script. Even trying to get advice on where the Hub backup / restore option was, was met with confusion and passing me on to someone else. Very frustrating. Eventually managed to do a factory reset. Still no luck. The last agent on the phone was telling me she was sending data to my Hub and getting a response, but I don't see how that is possible with no RF being detected my end. This has happened once before, is it just bad luck, or has my cable been installed incorrectly and this is likely to happen again? Any ideas how I can get back online? We do have an engineer coming over the weekend, but obviously would like to resolve this sooner if possible. For now I've just unplugged the Hub and going to try it again in an hour or so.VM Connect App Cannot Find Hub 4
My VM Connect App cannot find my hub 4. I am running the latest version of the app on iOS 17.5.1 I have tried following the instructions on related forum posts, such as resetting my hub, clearing the app data and removing my VPN connections, but the issue still remains. Last week I raised a first line support ticket with Virgin Media over the phone but nobody has followed up. This is incredibly infuriating and I can't bear the thought of calling VM to describe the problem to the support team who do not understand the VM Connect issue that I’m experiencing. Please help resolve the issue as I’m unable to review or test the efficiency of my Virgin Media service.VM connect not connecting to hub 4
Hi, my hub was installed by the engineer months ago, but it never connected to the app. I contacted Virgin as our internet has been a bit laggy and they sent a new hub4. This one also won’t connect to the app. I’ve tried deleting the app and reinstalling etc and I just get “hub not found”. When I go to 192.168.0.1 the page doesn’t load. I’ve tried reading through these posts as it seems loads of people have issues but I don’t know what else to do. Customer service suggested that I contact the “chat” for some assistance, and they are sending me another pod. But with my hub and pods not connecting to the VM Connect app, I just don’t know what else to do…Hub4 power issue
How do I get a replacement hub and power plug sent out without an engineer visit? there is a power issue with my hub 4, the power brick light just pulses, unless I switch the hub off using its little switch, then the little green light goes solid again. I just need a replacement sent out, I can swap it out myself, I’m also an on-call engineer, so I never know when I’m going to be in or not to book an appointment.Hub 4 restarts when casting
I've had this issue ever since I got upgraded from the Hub 3 to Hub 4, but it's now so frustrating that I need to do something about it. Basically, whenever I cast my phone screen onto my TV, it works for a couple of minutes, then my Hub 4 restarts. This then means I lose Internet connection for a few min until it's restarted (which my partner doesn't appreciate if they're on a video call with work!) It's almost as if it's too much for it to handle and it crashes. It happens every time, but the time it takes before it restarts varies between about 2 and 20 mins. Both my TV and phone are Samsung devices and both only a couple of years old so I can't think of any reason of would be causing it. I've tried all sorts of things, including factory resetting the hub but nothing works. Maybe I can get it swapped out for a Hub 5?
