Orbi with Sky Q
Hi, I installed my Orbi’s the other day , all devices are getting a strong stable wireless connection except the Sky Q’s. Connecting them to the orbi network (my virgin hub is in modem mode) is ok...
Hi, the Orbi’s have the newest firmware:
They are acting as a router.
And the orbi is plugged into a Virgin media hub 3.
Thanks
Aaron

So your Virgin 3.0 is is modem (Bridged) mode?
Are all wifi radios and DHCP turned off as well in the Virgin 3.0?
Have you updated the firmware in your Virgin Media Hub 3.0?
Read this thread and the links:

- Okay thanks for the information.
Yes my hub 3.0 is in modem mode.
And my Hub 3.0 has the most updated firmware, what do you mean by turning off WiFi radios and DHCP? How do I do this?
No need to turn off DHCP on Super Hub 3, once set it modem only mode this automatically turns off as far as I can remember.
As for turning off radios he is referring to the wireless on the Super Hub 3.
To be honest I would say set Orbi up in Ap mode and hard reset the virgin Super Hub 3
Always found Orbi to work far better in Ap mode myself.

The thread I attached above discusses the pros and cons of the Super Hub... I have no direct experience with them, but this thread also talks to how sucky the routing capability is in it.
If the article has merit and you have spent good money on an Orbi, why not use the routing in the device doing your wireless...
Your call but make the decision informed.
