New Virgin Media Hub 5 and AX1800 NG problems
Hey everyone I recieved the new virgin media hub 5 (I previously had the 3) it’s connected via Ethernet to my NG router upstairs but now my NG router seems to give no wireless signal? Everything hardwired into it is fine, any help on how to fix this? Thank you!

- Sorry, I recieved a new virgin hub 5 too and now my NG AX1800 router is giving no wireless signal.
Do I need to factory reset my ax1800 router?
What is the model# of your NG router. AX1800 is a wifi speed value.
FYi, Your ISP Modem already has a built in router and wifi. This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem. https://kb.netgear.com/25891/DMZ-on-NETGEAR-routers

3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the NG router to the modem, LAN to LAN configure AP mode on the NG router.

Try option #2 first...Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.Factory reset maybe needed.
