Virgin Media Superhub 2ac is unable to connect.
We recently needed to switch our superhub 3 because the Wi-Fi wasn't functioning. We had two outdated routers set up as access points, and both were working fine. Now that we have the new superhub 3, I can't reach their IP addresses to connect them properly. The old routers are still working, but resetting them didn't solve the issue. Could someone assist us? We're facing challenges using plug-in Wi-Fi extenders since our house wiring is poor and it's quite large. Thank you ahead of time.
Did you link straight to the new router using a computer? If not, attempt that again. VM had this bothersome behavior where each time a new device arrived they would reset your setup so you had to log in directly to the router to complete the initial configuration (perform the BS setup routine) before you could access the internet and share the connection. It might also be that you now have several DHCP servers active, leading to potential issues.
The machine is stored in the attic and linked via a Cat 6 connection from the new Sh3 to a hub, then another Cat 6 cable to the PC. Internet works properly, but connecting the Sh2AC directly to the PC without the internet seems confusing.
Check your network settings or use commands like `ipconfig` or `ifconfig` to see IP assignments. You can also query DNS or DHCP server information through system tools.
You might install a utility that checks the network for several DHCP responses when you issue a request. The simplest method is to power down your device, disconnect the VM router, maintain the others active, then restart it. Open Command Prompt and run "ipconfig /all" (without quotes) to identify your connected adapter. It will indicate whether you received a generic or assigned IP address, confirming DHCP usage. If you possess a valid IP address (not a Windows-generated one), it suggests a secondary router is managing DHCP. Otherwise, you likely don’t have that setup. Many users found with their superhub in the UK prefer to switch it into router mode, using personal hardware for wireless and DHCP configuration. How do you attempt to connect via Wi-Fi? Are you relying on saved settings or searching for a new network name? It could simply be that the network name has changed, as the router determines the name dynamically.
