Router:

A dual band Wireless cable router. ;-)

I also have a VM Hub and the first thing I did with it is put it into
'Modem Mode' and use my own router.

I think there are some things you can do re making it less fussy (as a
WiFi router) but I can't remember what.

p.s. If the netbook 'worked on that router before but doesn't now', it
could be a firmware update to the router that has affected it:

"To be fair, Virgin's been working on that issue. In March 2019, the
company announced a major firmware update to the Hub 3, including
three new measures aimed at improving performance. These are automatic
channel-switching, which tries to minimise wireless interference by
switching away from congested radio frequencies; band steering, which
shunts devices from the 2.4GHz band onto the faster 5GHz band wherever
possible; and a new "airtime fairness" feature that prevents any
individual device from monopolising the airwaves and slowing
everything else down."



A couple of points to add. The label says how to access the settings
page. Type the "http.... " into the address bar of your browser.

Is the Asus netbook able to see the router on 5GHz? It may only have 2.4.
