bizzarely, in the end I discovered that if I switched on the Virgin
Guest network, it sent that on merrily, but forced me to create two
networks for 2.4 and 5 Ghz, and whichever one something joined first,
the other would report an error when you tried to join it. What a mess,
it's going back;)
thanks for the reality check. I don't think I've ever felt like I wasted
so much time on something...
Cheers,
J

Hi Smuggers,
I've had a lot of powerline adaptors over the years and they rarely
last more than about 15 months before they stop working (I gather
this is usually a transistor) so I thought this time I would instead
get a decent router to use as a wireless extnder instead. I probably
should have asked here first for recommendations (!) but looked at a
lot of reviews instead and I got the ASUS RT-AX56U.
After five hours of swearing at it and resetting it I finally got it
to actually work (in the technical sense) by bypassing the automatic
web-based set up but it's giving a trickle. The Virgin Hub gives 112
Mbps over wireless but the network from the Asus gives 0.03 (when it
doesn't time out with an error).
Either the Virgin hub is unhappy about sharing its connection or the
router is somehow faulty and I'm not sure how to tell. any
suggestions before I box it up and send it back, and order yet
another doomed Powerline (seems a horrible waste of plastic...)?
Cheers,
J
