I will also point out that all VM kit (Hub & both V6 boxes) require a coaxial connection to VM's network as well.

Mmm, my V6 loses its WiFi connection about once a week. The WiFi and other devices are fine so that's not the issue. Not a big deal as reconnecting the WiFi in settings seems to get it back. Still rather do that than messing about with powerlines etc. Maybe they can fix with an update, its obviously the box at fault, the speeds should be ample for streaming, and I don't use a lot of other devices.
