Very poor WiFi reception in new room after cable being moved

Question

HiOne of your engineers recently moved a VM cable down to a converted garage, which is now a sitting room but the WiFi signal is terrible - it’s fine in other parts of the house but not in this new room.The issues happens with all devices when used in this room. We’re hoping we can order a WiFi pod to help with the poor signal in the new room, as it’s becoming quite annoying when the signal drops out or isn’t there at all.Please can you advise how I can order a WiFi pod?ThanksJazzypap

I notice a couple of months ago &lt;Here&gt; &nbsp;that you requested that the access point be moved to your sitting which is a converted garage.&nbsp; It's a pity that the signal wasn't checked throughout the property to ensure that you were still able to connect consistently to the wifi.

All other areas adjacent to this room are fine. I just assumed there’d be no issue in this room.

I’ve used the VM App, which states the signal is fine yet when I’m in this room, the WiFi signal drops off or is extremely weak causing connection issues

The solution is to run an Ethernet cable from the hub to the pod.
