ZyXEL Dual-Band Wireless N450 with Virgin hub3

ygor

Hi, 
I have a question about an old wireless adapter I use since 2014. It always worked flawlessly with the Virgin Hub 2, getting the same speed as the ethernet cable that is about 110 mps. Now that I have upgraded to the Hub 3 router I can't get past 76 mps altough on my phone I can still reach 110 mps.
Anyone knows why?

Hello @ygor

From looking at https://www.broadbandchoices.co.uk/guides/hardware/virgin-media-broadband-routers I can see that Hub 3 is dual band.

Do you know if your N450 is trying to use 5GHz wifi?

If it is, then do you get better performance if you switch to use the 2.4GHz band?

I hope that this is helpful.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
