VM Connect can't find Hub 4

Another one for the VM Connect not finding Hub 4.

No VPN, yes on VM Wifi, yes it is working, yes I can see Hub4 via IP.

Trying to connect to scan to get a first pod as bedroom speeds are 12 and below.

Help or shortcut to Pod from VM support via forum would be great - I won't be phoning support unless VM are going to refund the time spent on the phone from my monthly bill and I'm not sure you'd want to pay my hourly rates.

  • p.s. have tried on 2.4 and 5 - no joy. Latest firmware on Hub 4 and latest version of VM Connect. Cache etc cleared, app reinstalled, forum scoured and no consumer solution.

    Seeing the Hub 4 via IP is a start..

    But can you login in at http://192.168.0.1/   ?

    Once the Hub 4 password is entered do you have a working admin menu or just a blank screen i.e. the classic Hub 4 Router mode admin menu death syndrome with both Connect App and any VM Pods failing to function.

      Access via IP works - its just a rubbish user experience. I'm trying to get a pod but no obvious route without the Connect app working

      Trying to confirm if a weak signal is the reason it drops out in the bedrooms - app should help find that and if it is then a pod should resolve. Net result probably yes, I need a pod
