I have 2 net connections at home one is Virgin Media UK with the new HUB 4 in modem only mode, the second I tried was a BT Adsl and Sam again
I know you all talk about DNS but am I right in thinking the WiFi dropouts are related or is yet another issue ? Anybody know
I’ve missed the Amazon return also so I’ll play the game with NETGEAR and then worst case pop them in the loft till it gets fixed or eBay them
As per my last post I don’t plan to buy anything else my ZYXEL MUlti X 3 node system was faultless for 2 years so it’s back in only benefit NETGEAR brought me was slightly faster WiFi on some devices and NETGEAR armour

My system is working well now with the Virgin Media hub in router mode (wifi disabled), and the Orbi system running in AP mode. No dropouts, no DNS issues. Yes it's a workaround but it'll let you use your Orbi system if that's what you want.
