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....

You should be able to test the ability of the WAN port to negotiate to 1 Gbps by connecting your Mac to it. Then log into the router with another device and check the speed of the WAN port.

      I have plugged the Mac into the WAN port and I get 1000/Full.

      It still goes back to 100/Full when I put the VM hub in the WAN port.

        Are your Ethernet cables straight-through or crossover?  It shouldn't matter, but try using the other type than you are currently using between the R8000 WAN port and VM hub.  If that still doesn't help, then use the advice of netwrks.
