@phenomlab would there be any accurate videos for attempting this? Without generally getting on your nerves.
@jac Which router did you end up purchasing ?
@phenomlab Netgear RangeMax Wireless Cable Router.
@jac This should help. Just be aware that any references to plugging stuff into the WAN or Cable Modem port is going to mean the Network cable from the powerline adapter upstairs.
@phenomlab Thanks very much. So as well and the Rangemax I also need one of the boosters (adapters) downstairs where the virgin box is? And then the other one goes upstairs is that right? I do genuinely apologise, I thought I was better than this .
@jac Yes. You should have two powerline adapters. One is plugged in next to the Virgin Hub and a network cable (should have been shipped with it) connected to one of the 4 ports on the back of the hub, and the other end into the powerline adapter.
Once upstairs, same procedure, except the network cable from the upstairs adapter goes into the WAN (or Cable Modem) port of the NetGear router
@phenomlab what’s this blue cable then mate?
@jac I think I’m getting mixed up because the video says about the yellow cable ( that’s in the virgin hub).
@jac the yellow ethernet cable goes from the virgin hub to the TV box by the looks of it. But I know I need to uplug something and plug in in to the new router.
@jac don’t pay too much attention to the video I sent in terms of what color goes where as this won’t match. You should have one cable from the power line adapters on each side going into both the virgin hub and the Netgear router. You then use the sockets in the house to create the connection between the two.
It’s much simpler then you think, really
@phenomlab I’m just unsure where that blue cable goes . It must go into the virgin box but I don’t want to mess it up as the wife works from home .
@phenomlab will get the power adapters shortly.
I do apologise to anyone reading this thread, if you want a laugh this certainly is the thread to read .
@jac you won’t
@phenomlab ok… I’ve got the power line adapters now
Right so there’s the adaptor. So that needs to go into the virgin box? Or the Netgear box?
@jac so far I have… .
