Virgin Media Hub3 and Orbi

Thanks ill try the system with no sattelite although i have already noticed that upstairs bedrooms get minimal wifi and in some cases none - like i said we have quite thick walls (its probably marginally better than the linksys router i had there before which cost me like £80)

this does not explain why the sattelite keeps dropping when within 15 feet and within direct line of sight but that could be due to the kitchen etc. - funny but i had no problems with this for the first 9 months of having this setup -is there a way of checking firmware history so i can trace back to previous versions and see if there is a point the sattelite started being an issue?

ill probably ask the isp to change the access point in the building to avoid the kitchen and try again but that will cost and i already feel like ive been throwing money at something which will not be fixed. We will see

i understand that kitchen microwaves may have an impact as well as lots of electrical devices (fridges, wine cooler etc.) but interested in how the stair well is a poor place for a router - why so?

Thanks for ideas and feedback - just want to get my ‘wifi works’ life back

Never ever thought an expensive upgrade to my kit would cause such issues but you live and learn
