Yes, but you are Seph and I am roughy. One day, I will go about things in a sensible and methodical way.
What I may do, just for a while, is demote my AC88U to AP mode, with SH4 in router mode and using all its Ethernet ports to feed my network. The ASUS will still function as a media server for me.
Meanwhile, I will research decent routers with a much higher WAN to LAN throughput.

Good luck with that, Roughie. Being Seph, it's the first thing I did! The Netgear Nighthawk Tri-Band AX12 has a 2.5 Gig LAN/WAN port as does the ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX11000.
But the Hub 4 won't deliver more than 1 Gig.

Looking at both of those models and then again at the one I have already got, it is no surprise that we sometimes end up getting routers with specs that don't match what we think we need. All three models, on ordinary retail sites, show that they have 1Gb WAN capability. To the average punter there would seem to be no reason for looking at WAN to LAN throughput. To us regular punters there is no point having a 1Gb WAN port if the throughput to Ethernet LAN is less than 1Gb. Throughput is very rarely specified. Neither can I see whether the two models you highlighted feature a VPN server facility. I will have to dig deeper.

Re: M1000 is available. How to order?
Yeah, the gigabit only ports on the HUB4 are a massive disappointment for me. May as well stick around the lesser tiers until the HUB5 comes along.

Re: M1000 is available. How to order?
Yeah, it's a pre-hobbled device.
Though if they could handle link aggregation and whack it in a firmware update then that might be a solution, plenty of higher spec routers can do it.

Re: M1000 is available. How to order?
You'd be hard pressed to find a DOCSIS 3.1 modem with >Gb ports at the moment. Some of them will do port bonding but I'm not aware of any with 2.5G or higher ports.

Re: M1000 is available. How to order?
I think I've seen a modem with a 2.5G port, but no hubs from what I remember. Hopefully they'll start to be more popular.
Even routers with 2.5G ports are few and far between.

I have switched to router mode on the Hub 4. I now get 950Mb on the Ookla Speedtest App.

Re: M1000 is available. How to order?
that is really really annoying and they need to look into that asap. The conspiracy theorist in me says they have done that on purpose to try and force people into using router mode hoping they get used to it and they can ditch modem mode going forward. Well it ain't gonna happen. I would happily lose speed if it means I can use a proper router. Also, that is the second router which is now reporting differently than smallnetbuilder

Re: M1000 is available. How to order?
I don't think anyone can blame Virgin on this one. Their supplier doesn't have anything better, really. https://www.commscope.com/product-ty...1#ProductsList
They don't offer a hub with 2.5G ports. They have some 3.1 modems with a 2.5G port, but those aren't gateways (Hubs). The majority of Virgin's customers use the hub without an external router.

I would love to see some updated stats on that. Enough of us must to be using modem mode to make it viable for them.

Re: M1000 is available. How to order?
Modem mode is for the enthusiasts for sure, but most people don't use a separate router. Most people aren't technical enough.
