    So currently I have a Virgin Hub 3.0 and am getting a Nest WiFi delivered today.

    I am going to use the Hub in modem mode once Virgin change its settings from IPV6 to IPV4, and let the Nest be the Router.

    Is there anything else I need to do?

    There’s a 22% if you order today.

    Has anyone used this with Vodafone DSL broadband? Is it simple to put the Vodafone modem into bridge mode?

    Hey man sorry for the delay in reply.

    It's working fantastically, internet speed is at a near constant 240Mb over WiFi(250Mb package)

    The random drops in WiFi , loss of WiFi connection have all disappeared with having the Hub set only as a modem and using Nest WiFi.


    Before I bought it we would be contacting Virgin every few weeks about our speed and disconnections, it's made everything so much better especially being at home more often.

    I did (although in the end it wasn’t for nest, it was for a much better tp link wifi solution).

    i think I used the instructions here: https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/108582530#Comment_108582530
