Nighthawk R8000 to Virgin Media Super Hub 2 Connection problem.
My R8000 will not connect to the virgin media super hub at 1.0 Gbps. I have a 150 meg line and through the R8000 I only get 96 Mbps. My local area network is set to the following: Speed = 1.0 Gbps....
OK I will look into that. Thanks again.
On the Advanced page, click on Show Statistics and you will see the link speed for each port.
But if the VM hub is indicating the link speed is 100 Mbps, then I expect the R8000 will say the same thing. Either your cable is bad or, perhaps, the VM hub is forcing the link speed to 100 Mbps. Check if there is a speed setting on the VM hub.

OK I nipped out today and got a Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet adapter for my MacBook Air so I can test the VM router cables and so on.
First of all I tried every Ethernet port on the VM router and got 1 Gbps (150 Mbps).
Second I tested the cable to the R8000 router and got 1 Gbps (150 Mbps).
I have now found the information you wanted on the R8000:
WAN = 100M/Full
LAN 1 = 1000M/Full
LAN 2 = Link Down (Nothing connected).
LAN 3 = 100M/Full
LAN 4 = 1000M/Full
2.4G WLAN b/g/n = 600M
5G WLAN a/n/ac = 1300M
5G WLAN 2 a/n/ac = 1300M
Nighthawk Firmware Version is V1.0.3.4_1.1.2
I could find no speed setting on the VM hub.
As I suggested on the first page... If you have a dumb 1 gig switch, use it to plug the router and VM hub into it. There's an obvious negotiation between both devices..
Then check your WAN connection. Even if you can borrow one to test with.
I will see if I can borrow one during the week.
Thanks.
