Hi,
i would also like to know this answer im getting 6-9 Mbps in my office on there gig fibre internet and it says i have to go to change package but keeps coming up oops this page cant be found
Glad we have managed to get you one ordered.
Thanks,
I have it installed now and the speed is much better.
I was wondering, as i can't find a manual for the wifi pod black,
if the units internet ports can be used to connect it direct to the hub 5 via a Cat 5e cable?
As that would allow the unit to be placed directly in the worst area rather than having to mesh the wifi signal from a reasonably good signal location.
Hi davethefish
Thanks for coming back to the thread. We do not advise placing the Pod directly into the black spot area, what you're wanting is a Powerline adapter which we don't offer.
There are a few requirements for the Pods to work with our Hubs:
• The Hub must be in 'Router Mode' and not have been changed to 'Modem Mode'.
• Channel Optimisation must be left on.
• The SSIDs must be the same and broadcast enabled.
• The SSID must be password protected.
• The Passphrases of the SSIDs must match.
As long as all of the above points are all met then the Pod should automatically connect to your Hub's Wi-Fi and begin broadcasting. The wireless details from the Pod will be the same as the Hub's details, so no additional steps are required to connect the devices in the home.
This link will help though if you do have any issues: https://www.virginmedia.com/help/setup/intelligentwifipod
If you connect the Ethernet port of the black pod to the Hub, the served WiFi will be at top speeed. Your idea is correct. That question wasn’t answered by the VM person.
