WiFi pods not connecting to replacement router
Hello, I had my hub 4 replaced yesterday with a hub 5 due to issues with the Ethernet. Now my hub 5 is installed my 2 WiFi pods are not connecting despite the engineer telling me it will only take 15 mins. Customer services have said to move the pods closer to the router (no success). Turn the router and pods off and try with just one pod first (again no luck) please help 🙏🏻20Views0likes2CommentsHUB 5 and Own Router
Hi. I'm just wondering if anyone has tried using their own router and the Virgin Media hub5 working together but not in modem mode? If you use them side-by-side and disable the DHCP on the Virgin hub5, would this work? I understood the issues with two routers is that you have to disable DHCP on one of them so one of them only distributes the IP addresses. I may try it myself at some point, but I was wondering if anybody else has already tried, so that I don't get myself in a predicament. Isn't it a case of setting the IP address statically on both devices such that they don't clash and disabling the DHCP on the Virgin hub? If this works would that not also give you additional Wi-Fi coverage by having both Wi-Fis enabled, or could that additionally cause conflicts? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.Solved2.4KViews0likes9CommentsHub 5 in Modem mode with Tenda MX21 Pro
Appreciate there have been previous posts on this but in case there has been a solution, here is my issue. Previously, I had the Hub 3 and TP-Link Decco and all was ok but Id had a few years and wanted to upgrade. After lots of research, I ended up with the Tenda MX21 Pro (3 pack) with wifi 6e. It was bit more of issue to set up and get going than the Decco and found it had to be done in a very specific way to get the Tenda to pick up and address and connect but eventually I got it going. I recently upgraded to the the 1Gig service which meant an upgrade to the Hub 5. Arrived today and when I finished working, I set about trying to set it up. Initially boot up and connected, tested the speed and getting full gig speed. So changed to modem mode so try connect to the Tenda and that's where it all stopped! Try as I might, they two would not communicate in modem mode. (connected to port 4) When I reset the hub and it goes into router mode, it will talk to the Tenda, but not in Modem mode. With the Hub 5 in modem mode, I connected the deco to the Hub and then to the Tenda and that worked but direct (not having any of it) Called Tech and of course was no help whatsoever, initially telling me because I has a green light it wasn't on line and I had to direct her to their own website and explain that when it is in modem mode, it's not white, it's green! She then tried to fob me off saying because I've upgraded my speed, its too fast for the Tenda!! I gave up at that point! So yes I could leave it in router mode but I'd prefer not to and would like it to work as it should in modem mode. So is there an answer as I feel like I've exhausted many things but open to any suggestions if anyone might have. (I have done the specific order of connection as other posts) Thanks in advance3KViews0likes21CommentsWiFi Pod (Black) LED cycling through all colours?
Hi all, I received a WiFi Pod (Black) early last week from VM & set it up using the VM Connect app. It's placed halfway between the Hub5x router and my WiFi dead spot in my living room. Over the last few days it's LEDs have just been cycling all the colours within the space of 5 mins or so. Going from: Solid White, Flashing White, Solid Green, Flashing Green, Solid Blue, Flashing Blue, etc. I have tried turning the pod on/off and resetting it, but it's still doing the same. Any ideas?309Views0likes2CommentsHub 5 & Deco S4
Hi, I've recently signed up with VM and have got the Gig1 Volt Fibre Broadband package. I have the Deco S4's and wanted to connect them to the Hub 5 and use them as Wi-Fi's (I know I wont get 1gig speed over wifi with these) and I was going to connect my TV, console and PC via ethernet to the Hub 5 Should I put the hub 5 into modem mode and use the Deco S4's as access points so I can get wi-fi around the house and garden and still use the ethernet ports at the back of the hub 5? Or if there is a better solution please let me know.1.9KViews0likes11CommentsHub 5 in modem mode
