VM router problems - again

    I had problems with Hub3 at the start of lockdown. Had a 6 day outage and unable to contact support. Since then its not been great. When you test I get full speed at the router, but wifi can be flaky.

    I generally run it in hub mode with my own router, and another router for parental filtering. Run a mix of Powerline adapters.

    The other day had another outage for half a day. When it came back, none of my routers worked, at least not on ethernet. Two powerline adapters no longer work. I'm thinking power surge. Though I think the VM hub was reset also. I hard reset the VM hub and it was back working but slower.

    Reset the router again today, and now back to full speed. Wifi is still a bit flaky.

    Anyone else having similar issues last few days?

    I had some issues with the Powerline adapter a few weeks back. Resetting the adapters using the TP-Link utility fixed it for me.

    How did you connect to it.

    Installed the Powerline utility and connected the adapter directly to the laptop's Ethernet port.

    Cheers I'll try that and see if I can get them working again.
