Intermittent Deco Solutions
Hello.
I'm with Virgin (UK) on a 1g contract. Hub 5 connected to an XE75 Pro, then various other decos around the house. All worked fine until a couple of days ago, when main deco started intermittent dropouts for a few minutes at a time. Virgin hub didn't seem to be the problem (for a change).
Changed the cable, still dropouts.
Rebooted all decos in the app, and reset Virgin hub. So far so good, no further dropouts for 24 hours now.
Here's where my knowledge ends. Hub is now back in router mode after reset, as is deco. I'm reluctant to switch back to modem mode, at least for a while, as it's working. Is that bad? Are there any major implications of leaving the hub in router mode?
Or is it just as likely that the deco reboot solved the problem?
And if I do leave Virgin hub in router mode, should I switch deco to AP? I don't currently use parental controls or VPN (I have my own).
For info, I'm not a gamer, or have any other zero latency requirements. I don't really care about squeezing every last bit of speed out of the network. I'm much happier to get a solid signal all over the house, all the time. Which was the case until a couple of days ago.
Many thanks in advance.
