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 all,We had a weak signal in our kitchen, and my WiFi pod didn't do anything. I presume it was faulty as when I unplugged it, it was very hot!That aside, I bought an extender from Amazon (because I couldn't be **bleep** with the hassle of calling V...
Hi my mum's Hub 3 keeps losing ethernet connection or basically stays on wifi. This has been going on for at least 2 years i think. In that time i have VM come and check outside connections, change to a new hub 3 and remove the filter that was connec...
Does the "Virgin Media WiFi Hub" (is that just the name of Virgin's router or is it a different thing?) that I would get from the "M250 Fibre Broadband" deal have ports for Ethernet cables? I want to be able to connect an Ethernet cable straight betw...

Hi,I have recently upgraded from Virgin Hub 3 to Virgin Hub 5. Previously, I had Hub 3 in modem mode and Orbi in router mode. All was well (no lights on Orbi, indicating it was working as expected). My orbi has 2 satellites, but I'm not sure that ...
HelloAre the old NTL/Chorus cables that run along houses still active?There is one on my mother-in-law's house and it is falling down between the houses. I'm wondering if I can just disconnect it and get rid of it. I've tried calling Virgin but I get...
