Ordering a WiFi pod

Hi, am I able to receive a WiFi pod? I have run a speed test inside my property and speeds are perfect, but I have an outbuilding and the speeds are just not strong enough, I have 1gb broadband, but only reaching 40-50mbs about 8 feet away inside my outbuilding

      Make sure you understand how to position the VM Pod.

      Hint ... not in the out building  !

    40-50mbs about 8 feet from the VM Hub reads like a device with a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi adaptor.

  • I doubt it as I don't believe that the WiFi guarantee is intended for outbuildings etc. A better idea might be to run a cabled access point from the hub to the outbuilding.

  • I’ve actually just run a speed test outside in my outbuilding and it’s now saying 7.62mbs

    VM only promise 30 Mbps on their WiFi before they will provide a pod, so it sounds like you do not qualify.
