    just got the 10 mt extension for my virgin broadband, plugged, relocated, worked like a charm no loss of signal. good product! (so far)

    Highly recommended. Needed a shorter cable to feed under the carpet and replace the existing cable which was fitted around the door frame. Very quick delivery and works a treat.

    These is the answer for me as I have the router in another room to my TV will order the cable from you now. Can I ask does the V6 box need a wired ethernet connection to the router or can this use WIFI?? Thanks

    Looking at moving a virgin hub from a upstairs bedroom downstairs to the living room. In the living room there is a virgin tv box already connected. Can I use the cable from the TV box and split it with a Splitter and a couple of new cables and run the hub and TV box from this connection.
    Don't want the bother of rewiring the whole house or expense of an engineer when I can do it myself with a Splitter and a couple of new cables.
    Also is there a link to where I can order the above parts ?

    I’m currently running 420 mbps at the hub if I used 15 metres of cable would I still get the same speed at the new router location?

    Hi James, Nice film on the cables, when we had virgin media put in our house the hub 3 went down stairs in the room and the router went up stairs in my office for gaming and to conect my twin 18 year old lads to the internet via the hub 3, one of the problems weve got now is the tv box as no internet from the router do you sell these for outside use ? and the other problem is the virgin wifi is rubbish so looking at buying a mesh system for this.

      Hi Mike, If the wifi is that rubbish I would get Virgin to get you new equipment, No sure what you mean the hub 3 "is the router" so you have x2 hub 3's? The TIvo box will connect to the router, you have to set it up on wifi, that is only useful when using on demand services, not sure what you mean for outside use either?

    Hi James, we would like to change the layout of our lving room so ultimately the tv will be going diagonally opposite. How can we extend the cable from the main entry point into the house to the new location without the wires going around doorframes. Any suggestions?

    • @JamesThompson-fx6pc
      @JamesThompson-fx6pc  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Depends where your entry point is? you could run new cable under floorboard (if possible ) or run new cable from outside box and use masonry drill to bring back in elsewhere, feel free to call me 5starcables.com/contact-us/

      yes its the same cable that connect to your Virgin media wall socket, so you can extend your current cable from there or replace it alltogether

      Hi Nina, it depend what part of the cable you want to extend? if you want to extend the length from the wall socket to the splitter, you need the below cable
      5starcables.com/virgin-media-extension-cable/virgin-media-tv-broadband-extension-cable/
      If you want to move your router ( from splitter output side ) then its the same above cable or for your v6 box its the below cable.

    I’m moving my front room around and I have a v6 box and a super hub they are next to each other, my questions
    1. Do they need to stay next to each other?
    2. If they do what do I need to connect the router?

      Hi Naga, the same type, you can connect this cable to the "push on" connector type, they are exactly the same but have a nut to tighten instead, the point being that they are both F connections, this is the cable you need...

      Hi James
      I'm ready to buy the cable now.
      So the cable is the same, but what adaptors do I need to buy to fit the screw on type cable to the virgin media push fit f plug? I had some old cable left over and there's no way it'll fit without adaptors.

      @JamesThompson-fx6pc  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@dalturbo hi there, you don't need to buy any adapters. The cables will connect to a "push fit" F plug no problem. again you just push them together and with the other end screw that on, as I show in the video, will take you 2 mins to do and very easy a 5 year old could do it.
