Tip: If a loudspeaker (or device) is closeish to the Hub 5, just place a compass between them and move the speaker. Move them much further apart and see the difference in your conectivity to the internet especially the ethernet conections. I struggled for over a month with serious muti-daily intermittant conectivity. No problem since using a compass to part interferring devices. Please drop a short comment if this tip helps solve your problem.

Step up from the hub 4 to hub 5 is staggering. Only thing I didn't like is that the plug is bigger and made things awkward trying to keep it plugged in the same place as the hub 4 was.

I was a vrgin media customer for YEARS.. only just switched to City Fibre .. 900mb download 900mb upload.. Virgin cant compete on the upload speed.

[mr.afrikaans]

Make sure you’re restarting your hub at least once a week. The reason being that they’re rolling out 100mbps upload speeds.

How do you configure the router to use WiFi 6? Do you have info on how to do it?

[OwenPrescott]

I need a high speed router for VR. Do you think this Hub 5 would have better wifi performance than a custom router on modem mode?

[Zen_Power]

Do you get good wi fi signal far away from your hub 5? Like at the bottom of your garden?

[BenjyBoo]

Have you come across the DHCP bug in the Hub 5? I have about 35 devices both wired and wireless and every few days to a week a couple of devices will not be connected and say "failed to obtain ip address" (both wired and wifi). You have to reset back to factory with the pin hole on the bottom of the Hub 5, reentered your chosen SSID and password and the all connect again.

We been paying for gig1 but had the old hub so was a waste for months. Rang them up and they sent this one next day. Still bad people paying for gig1 but dont have the compatible hub automatically.

Do you know if the ps5 or the Steam Deck supports 2.5 GBPS speeds? My hub 5 is due for delivery today.

Great video 👌 subscribed

The white coax cable you have from the wall socket to the router, was that installed by Virgin or did you buy that yourself?

[zenmoto]

Question: If I source one of these, can I just replace my current HUB 3 with it? The internet is fine it's the router that can't is problematic, Virgin won't help, so I this possible?

[choosingmusicp]

For the hub can you get a longer cable so I can place the router anywhere I want becuase i want to move it away from the TV

[chrishaug]

I would definitely recommend the Virgin Media Hub 5 Wifi 6 Hub to anyone looking for a high-quality product

[kingcorby]

jus ordered this, i currently use the hub 3 in modem mode and use another router as the distance for the wifi is so much better. whats the distance like in the 5? would i need the extra router you reckon?

[seanthepowerdavies]

So nearly a year later, would you still recommend this device? Im shopping about for internet, i like to game online, so i need the best without any interruptions. No lag etc.. also, i want it wired and wireless. Wired for gaming and wireless for other bits around the house

[SuperFace]

I have to go with all this community fiber, bt full fiber and the other are not available in my area.

[Jay-ftqt]

If I get this should I still use my netgear X6 and use this as a modem? Or shall I just use this? I had a hub3 and put it in modem mode and use the netgear. Thanks

[trez]

I have this and currently only getting around 500, sometimes it will drop to as low as 200

What wifi speed you getting without using a hard wire ? I can get 1gig speed with my hub 4 if I use a wired connection! shat the speed your getting without using a cable ?
