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 hardw...
Not really recommended but if you give same SSID name and PW between both systems, however set channels on each unit to far apart channels on 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, might work ok.
I’d essentially want the NG router to act as a wireless access point, I’m sure that’s the way the guys had it set up on the old hub - is it able to do that?
- Thank you! And in this mode anything hardwired into the NG upstairs router will act as wired connection? Ie games console and pc?
Between the RAX and the host router yes.
- Thank you so much for all your help! I’ll do this tomorrow when I’m up - will I need to factory reset my NG again to set up AP or is it quite straightforward?
No FR needed.
- I ended up doing what you said changing SSID and Password to both the router details and it’s fixed all my problems. Thank you so much guys for your amazing help and sorry for being a bit full on coming into the forums - appreciate you all so much and have a fantastic Xmas.
