Hi how do I order the Wi-Fi pods as can’t get the connect app to work?
Hi all, I noticed for the first time today that the usual virgin media WiFi network isn't there on the tube. Is this being phased out? [MOD EDIT: Please see update on post 111 here]
UNDERSTANDING KEY ASPECTS OF WiFi WiFi is a somewhat notorious, though essential commodity. In many cases, when its behaviour does not meet the user’s perception of the claims made by the ISP (e.g. Virgin Media), the blame is quickly heaped on the IS...
Seeing so many posts about Good, Bad & ugly Wifi, I thought I would post some suggestions for people out there. There are definitely good, midrange & poor routers with quite variable performance wifi. Never expect a mass market product to be the b...
N Warning: Long, dull, a bit technical. NHaving needed to repeat myself a few times, I thought I'd share my understanding of what you might find in a Hub 3's network log when things go wrong, and what it means. First of all, this post is based on my...
Hi lads, I recently upgraded and recontracted from 500mb to 1Gig. I was told I would be sent a new modem but there would no disruption to my service. I've been without wifi all day and have yet to receive the new modem. I rang customer service today ...

Since at least friday of last week (9th ish?) I have had internet on & off as if it's a YoYo- so much so that I cant load pages at all, I cant steam (how I use the TV) & cant even think of playing games. I have tried the normal reboot, I tried unplu...
I spoke that he Virgin Media Unity team over the last few days about an update on the availability of modem mode on the Hub 5x used in the Full fibre areas (XGS-PON) and they quiet blatantly said it would not be coming to this devices so if this is a...
Installed the Hub 5 yesterday from a Hub 3, I had my hub 3 split into 3 networks 2.4, 5 and a Guest which and those setting seemed to carry across to the Hub 5. I can connect to 2.4 & 5 but not the Guest anymore. They all show but the Guest won't con...
Hi, There has been a red light on the router (hub 3 M280) for about a week. The hub has been reset and did not resolve the problem. There is an intermittent fault, as the wi-fi vanishes and then comes back. According to info it is best to switch of...
I had an engineer visit last week as I was having various wifi issues and also one of my boxes wiped all my recordings. He checked the router and we also removed the 3 Wifi Pods that I had as it appears they were causing a problem. Without these I no...
