Re: Hub 5 at no extra cost



After a week or so to settle in (and a few restarts) its now settled down to this, which to be honest is better than the previous Hub 3 (and a few ms better latency).

Re: Hub 5 at no extra cost

I'm quite happy with the Hub 4 i have for my Gig1.

It does the job, I'm happy with the speed i usually get which is between 940 - 950mb down and 59.5 - 59.8 up.

Re: Hub 5 at no extra cost

I'm due my Hub 5 delivery this week. I use Hub 3 in modem mode for my Nest wifi mesh. So I'm planning to do the same with Hub 5 or should I use wifi from Hub 5, not heard much about wifi?

Re: Hub 5 at no extra cost

Have a read on the VM forum about the Hub 5. Lots of people are reverting back to their old Hubs. Too many bugs in the Firmware at the moment for Router users, but it seems to be okay in Modem mode.

Not sure reverting back is now an option. I’ve just been offered a free upgrade to the Hub 5 and the e-mail states:

“ Your existing Hub must be returned as per the instructions included with your new Hub 5 and will be automatically deactivated six days after the agreed install date for your new Hub.”

Re: Hub 5 at no extra cost

I hear you guys like graphs. Here's mine while in modem mode on the SH3, day of switchover then the a full day on the Hub 5. A little spikey and glad to see the back of the puma chipset

You're glad to see the back of the Puma chipset? But your Hub 5 graphs look worse.

Do you notice any improvement in gaming, web browsing and downloading, streaming compared to the Hub 3?

Re: Hub 5 at no extra cost

I took the offer of a Hub 5 which arrived the other day and so far it's not been particularly brilliant on the stability side of things.

I was on a Hub 3 previously, as notorious as it is, it was stable (in modem mode) for years.

I opted to use the Hub 5 in router mode due to my existing RT-AC56U being far too old and long unsupported now. The Hub 5 has much improved wifi coverage and wifi speeds compared to the Hub 3 in my experience so far.

Unfortunately I am getting multiple disconnections every day, the internet goes away on wired and wireless devices for 30 - 60 seconds before coming back, the Hub 3 had no such issues. I notice that there have been some others with this particular issue with the Hub 5.

Here are recent log entries, the MDD Timeout coincides with the disconnections.

Re: Hub 5 at no extra cost

What are the power levels like? Something is causing the disconnects?
