The new black WiFi Pods: how do I upgrade the pods I have to the black ones?

So recently I've found out that the old white WiFi pods don't offer WiFi 6 unfortunately, and I currently have 3 of them in the house. They do work fine with my new Hub 5 but of course only with WiFi 5.

Hopefully these new pods will extend the range and boost the speed upstairs where it is most lacking. 

Could a mod help me with this please?

Thanks.

    Hey LaRusso,

    Welcome to the community and thanks for taking the time to post here on the forums.
    If you don't have any issues with the pods that you have at the moment then we wouldn't be able to replace them at the moment. Have you tried to reposition your pods to make sure that you're getting the best out of them? 

    Kind Regards,

    Very unlikely, WiFi 6 has no more range than WiFi 4/5.
