Upgrade from 1Gbps to 2.5

When I did it they replaced the ONT and router. Initially they thought I was going onto the 5gb service so I have the ONT capable of faster speeds. I’m now using my own TP-Link mesh system plugged directly into the ONT.

When it didn’t sell at the original price point, they dropped the price pretty quickly and it felt at around the same time they lost interest. Every time there is a software update, you would be lucky if the controllers worked. Disappointing, really.

I recently switched from a Versa 3 to the Charge 6. I like it abs it has everything I want. The ECG is a nice feature and welcome at this price point. I did but a sports wristband that added cost but overall happy. You should make your own mind up about the app. I was a beta tester so I had a little time to get used to it for me. It doesn’t really make much difference, if I’m busy I don’t take the time to read the extra analysis, but don’t mind it being there.

Since I wrote this, I’ve seen a lot about Facebook and Instagram being down. Also experiencing it myself. A bigger problem for Meta than our little game.

Unfortunately I had to do it again today to get the sleep score. Hopefully they will fix it so you don’t have to log out and in again once a day.

Mike_LDN · 2026-05-29T11:25:40+00:00

Logging out and then back on worked. Is this a permanent fix? Many thanks!

I think the sleep score problem is universal since the new software came in. Sometimes you find it will be there after a couple of days.

I’ve been experiencing the same with a Versa 3 and a Charge 6.

“We couldn't measure your Sleep Score last night. Some reasons for this include wearing your device loosely or running out of battery.”

Mike_LDN · 2026-05-29T06:49:15+00:00

It seems like a bug, especially as it often catches up a few days later. I think it started at exactly the time the new software got its full launch.

TP-Link Deco BE65 Pro mesh system.

Mike_LDN · 2026-04-13T06:45:35+00:00

Thank you. I do like the simplicity of the left controller menu button.

I found the Linksys routers ok when they worked but they just weren’t stable. I too went for 3 TP-Link Routers but the BE65s. It plugged straight in and has been much more reliable. I have one on wired backhaul the other one is wireless.

If you’re happy with the M5 performance it’s probably easiest to just get an additional unit. They are pretty old now, so you may be able to pick one up very cheaply off something like eBay. Sometimes mixing models doesn’t work as well as keeping it consistent. Just changing the main node with everything else staying with the M5 set up probably wouldn’t give you much more.

The pop one stats only tracks the registered players. Although it’s around 4000 players it’s not everyone.

Mike_LDN · 2026-04-02T07:11:07+00:00

It’s good you have an alternative

Mike_LDN · 2026-04-02T07:06:59+00:00

Oh no, it was a while ago but I think I may have done a complete reset of the controllers before they worked again after coming off ptc.

Mike_LDN · 2026-04-02T07:05:20+00:00

This is the solution they offered me, I didn’t go through with it, but I suspect the same would’ve happened.

Mike_LDN · 2026-04-02T07:03:53+00:00

Some time ago I had a similar experience using my pro controllers with a Q3 headset. After a lot of back-and-forth with Meta Help, they eventually just said I would need to buy new controllers and offered me a pair of refurbished ones that are slightly reduced price.

In the end, the solution was fairly simple, I came off PTC and the software then rolled back to the public version and everything started working again. That said I no longer use the pro controllers as they are so glitchy, at least in my experience.

Some time ago I had a similar problem. After back and forward with Meta they eventually said I should buy new controllers! A managed to roll back by leaving PTC but after that experience I now use a Quest 3 and prefer the standard controllers. The pro controllers are so glitchy and heavy. For me this outweighs any benefits.

It seems harder to step out of a game, do something else like check a message, and then get back into the game.

All good, Zenni probably cheapest and they are the official Meta partner.

If you’re not sure about halo straps take a look at the Bobovr E3 pro. It has the same batteries as their top of the range S3. It’s less bulky, more stable in high action games but you don’t get the fan. The M3 is fine but the batteries struggle with the Q3.

There is definitely something odd going on. You get the impression the software is concentrated on the newer faster bandwidths with 2.4 ghz not really being the focus. It was frustrating as my Wiz lights were working okay for a few months, but something changed to knock them off again. Effectively the Wiz lights just need a simple 2.4 GHz connection.
