    How to make the most of a 1.15Gbps (Gig1) Virgin Media ISP

    Hi, Yes I'm using the MikroTik as a router and the HUB 4 in modem mode. I thought the HUB 4 needed to be in modem mode to avoid double NAT? Ideally I want to replace my existing router with the MikroTik and tidy up some of the multiple cable runs I have. I'm not sure about the WAN bond being on...

    How to make the most of a 1.15Gbps (Gig1) Virgin Media ISP

    Ok so I've changed a few settings as suggested and it kind of works. There's internet connectivity on the router and I can use the built in tools to ping external addresses etc but there's no internet connectivity to any LAN connected devices... I'm sure its simple to fix but I can't see in my...

    How to make the most of a 1.15Gbps (Gig1) Virgin Media ISP

    Hi, I probably should have said the posted images were for checking if I had the right configuration setup :p It was Ether7 I was plugged into just to do the screen grabs and nothing else was connected. Thanks for the replies I'll change a couple of bits to what's suggested including Google...

    How to make the most of a 1.15Gbps (Gig1) Virgin Media ISP

    So I think I'm almost there, its just not getting an IP allocated from the HUB4 and consequently (or not) no DNS either. Literally no connection to the internet. I think I've configured the bond correctly with ARP disabled and link monitoring on None. I've got 4 ethernet cables in the bond if...

    How to make the most of a 1.15Gbps (Gig1) Virgin Media ISP

    Hi, As you're the first post on here I can see with a RB5009 would you kindly share your config with me. I've gone through a few different setup posted on here and they don't seem to work properly on my RB5009, perhaps because of the different number and internally configured ethernet ports...

    So in router mode the RealSpeed site shows the download speed to the Hub 4 at 1090 Mbps and the speed to the computer at 326 Mbps. There's no QoS enabled. I've tested the Hub 4 with a direct connection to my desktop PC and RealSpeed gives a similar result

    How to make the most of a 1.15Gbps (Gig1) Virgin Media ISP

    Hi, First post here so here goes!! I've read through the thread and it seems to be the consensus that using 2 or more cables from the Hub 4 to a router using link aggregation seems the way to go. I'm not amazingly techy when it comes to this so bear with me. I currently have an ASUS RT-AC88U...
