Virgin Media Hub 3.0 not sending a 5GHz signal to TP Link Range Extender (RE305)
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
So I bought a TP Link RE305 range extender to boost the Wi-Fi signal from a Virgin Media Hub 3.0 around my apartment.
The 2.4GHz channel links up perfectly and I can get the signal around the place, but strangely, the 5GHz doesn't seem to be getting sent to the range extender (or is being blocked(?)).
I can get a 5GHz wireless connection when I connect directly to the router with my MacBook, so it's definitely working. I've tripled checked all the names and passwords, so I don't think it's that. Any ideas?
EDIT: I should also mention that I've factory reset my router and ranger extender a few times over the course of the past 24 hours trying to get this resolved.

@AndyBkly I thinkI have the answer to linking the tp extener into a Virgin HUB 3.0.
I have it working by chaging the SSID name of the 5G frequency to say ssid-5G.
Save the changes at the bottom of the screen.
Next I linked my laptop by an Ethernet cable to the extender as the Virgin hub does not like the auto WPS pairing of the HUB.
Using the method 2 in the instructions and following all the instructions on the browser provided by the extender I have ended up with.
SSID_EXT and SSID-5G_EXT both able to connect and working.
Hope this helps as lots of folks seem to have the same problem. Good Luck!
