Ok so last feb got myslef an Asus https://www.asus.com/uk/Networking/DSL-AC88U/ as was with Plusnet and game me the login details no issues ulike every other non cable company, so to same money as was paying for Sky TV, BT Sport and Plusnet moved eveerything, to Virgin Media in July, my contract with PlusNet finished 16/12, was still cheaper to keep plusnet running fibre and Virgin together than everything above via seperate companies
Once this 12 month contract with Virgin is up will shift everything to Sky, espcially now Rupert Murdoch not got his hands on it
So I still want to use the Asus AC88U as a signal booster if possible?
Its only a DLS router which doesnt support cable modems they have a similar model with differnt connections for that, but never really intented to ever go to Virgin 5 months in still wishing we hadn’t lol.
As I have never used a Virgin modem / router before I dont know if i need to do something with the Virgin gear or just edit settings on the Asus
You are correct it does have a pass through so now need 2 times ethernet cables and see which port I need to free up on Virgin modem to connect power line
You reckon it will be safe to connect extension cable 6 way gang to it
You can connect 100 extension leads together if you want to - what matters is the total load on the first one (which is the sum of everything plugged into any of them). If you’re just using it for lights or electronics it’s totally safe. I just wouldn’t use it for anything heavy like a space heater or kettle.
Set virgin hub 3.0 to modem connected it up used a lan port on virgin hub 3 connected to my powerline and then put it on the wan connection in Asus got data showing on powerlines and asus recognises WAn connection but no internet
No luck I’m afraid, the only way to tell for sure is to test. Temporarily replace the power line adapters with an Ethernet cable and see if the speeds improve.
