Direct connection to VM Hub 500Mb, with Nighthawk 230Mb
We decided to bite the bullet and take Virgin Media up on their Oomph bundle for several reason, one being the 600Mb internet access. So did the research and with being a gamer and having 15+ various ...
Thanks for the response.
The VM Hub is in modem modem (throughput only) to try and solve the issue of double NAT’ing. Tried speaking with VM technical support about the option to switch it off at their end which they either can’t or won’t do. If the NHX6 is put in to AP mode and you manage the VM box (not recommended just due to lack of config/security options) for whatever reason no internet and I don’t really like this option for management.

Quick update: Placed a TPLink TL-SG1005D 5 port switch between the VM Hub and NHX6 with a laptop also connected. You get 450Mb+ from the laptop when connected via the switch. You get the same speeds initially when connecting via the NHX6. However, connect back to the switch, no network! Connect back to the NHX6 and over time the bandwith starts to drop down to anything from 105MB t0 150Mb, Mean while, connect to another port via the the VM Hub, no network!, Connect to another port via the switch, no network! Connect to the NHX6 (wired or wireless) you get network traffic and bizarley better test speeds now wireless than wired!
Attached quick router stats FYI.
And switching on QoS just to see if it makes a difference despite the 1Gb speed throughput.
