We’ve just updated your Hub 3 with Intelligent WiFi technology. It adapts to your home to help deliver our most reliable WiFi signal.

Now that Intelligent WiFi is live in your home, it’ll:


Optimise itself to make sure your devices keep getting the best signal available
Automatically switch your gadgets over to the quietest channel available
Seamlessly move your devices to the best frequency for the room you’re in
Share out your WiFi evenly, so your newer gadgets won’t be held back by older ones

As part of this upgrade, you can use our Virgin Media Connect app to scan your home and check signal strength from room to room. If the app finds a WiFi blackspot we’ve missed, you can order another WiFi Booster at no extra cost right through the app.
For a second there I read...

"Shamelessly move your devices to the best frequency for the room you’re in"

Re: Hub 3 updated

Wouldn’t all this frequency hopping cause glitching?

Re: Hub 3 updated

I also received the same notification that they have upgraded me to "Intelligent Wifi"... I haven't logged into the router itself yet to check what settings have changed however, I did truy to use the app to "optimise" my broadband and check for dead spots. As I have Devolo Powerlines around the house I wasn't expecting to find any dead spots however, as soon as I moved into a room with one of the Powerlines, the app said that it couldn't assess the room as it wasn't connected to the Router but to a "Home Networking device", even though all the SSID and passwords are the same as the routers. Not sure why I would get this error/message... surely the app is just checking the strength of WiFi in the room regardless of whether it's through a Powerline or from the router itself?

Re: Hub 3 updated

My professional advice, as. A person dealing with WiFi design and installation, is to turn the stupid new facility off. It willdrive you mad.

First, channel hopping is bad news when you are in flight unless, when you go to a new room, you’re not in the middle of anything.

Second, VM’s record on getting firmware right isn’t exactly great.

Re: Hub 3 updated

Good to know, Sephiroth... will turn off when I have a chance to look at the settings for the router.... shame there isn't a way to access the settings remotely (out of the local network)...
