NIGHTHAWK MK62 WIFI 6 AX1800 compatibility with Virgin Media Hub 3?
Hi,
I am considering getting a Nighthawk MK62 WIFI 6 AX1800 to use with the Hub 3 from Virgin Media as we are having difficulty getting WIFI at the back of the house and upstairs (have tried various extenders to no avail...) has anyone tried connecting to a Hub 3 and does it work? How difficult is it to set up?
Many thanks.

Most routers can be connected to the virgin hub.
It causes a double nat which you can resolve by one of the following methods.
1. putting the vigin hub in modem only/passthrough mode
2. putthing the netgears IP address into the virgin hub's dmz
3. putting the netgear into access point mode.
that'd fix the double nat.
Not saying it'll fix your coverage. That might entail a different approach.
when extenders aren't reaching, its time to look at the home structure to see whats blocking/causing issues.
what materials are the interior walls of your home made of?
What size is it?
Many thanks for your advice, unfortunately I am not very knowledgeable in this department and am relying on my son who is pushing for a mesh system, as we are all getting frustrated with the drop in the internet that causes remote working problems.... so would be happy to invest in something that works but from what you are saying it could work or it may not! so difficult....
what is your interior walls made of and how big is the home?
Sometimes a mesh system works but other times you need to run a wired backhaul to mesh access points. a lot depends on the home
