Hello All,

I wonder if anyone can advise.

I have a Virgin Router Hub 3, with a 500Mb Connection. The speed when alone was always 450-500 however, the connection was a bit unstable sometimes. I live in a house with a Smart alarm, usual connected Electronics, few Alexa, so I have a fair amount of devices. It seems the Hub3 can not manage much more than 12-14 devices and so it can be a bit volatile.

I was advised to get my own router that can manage more devices and in a smarter fashion.

I purchased the AX3000 (Archer AX50). I have changed the HUB 3 in to Modem Mode and connected accordingly the AX3000. I am getting WiFi around the home and I am not getting any drop outs. I would say I was expecting a great signal strength, than I am getting, but this is fine. I can add a booster.

The bit that concern me and this is wher eI need some advice is the Speed. I have not seen the speed go above 200Mb. Naturally, this worries me and I am trying to understand the reason why. I will return it to the store, if indeed the result of adding it means I lose over half of the speed I am paying for.

Would anyone kind have any ideas that I can try out?

Thank you and appreciate the support.
