Wifi Pod Switching

Question

I have two wifi pods and one hubMy mobile does not easily switch from one to another. If I am in living room connected to Hub 3.0 and then moves to bedroom where I have wifi pod, I expect mobile to connect to wifi pod. But it stays connected with downstairs Hub with almost no wifi strength despite to having wifi pod plugged-in next to my bed. I have to switch off my mobile's wifi and switch it back on then it works sometimes.Same happens other way around and also with kitchen wifi. As a result most of time, I and my family are on low Internet speed despite of having a super speed hub in living room. Wifi pod did not solve my low speed problem but it made it worse.&nbsp;Please help&nbsp;I talked to virgin media few months back but no luck. I asked to replace many years old hub3.0 when my contract was renewed but they denied to do it unless I opt for a higher package.

Toggle the phone's Wi-Fi Off / On, to encourage it reconnect to a stronger signal.

Hi there avtarjain&nbsp;
Thank you so much for your post and welcome to the community forums, it's great to have you here.&nbsp;
Typically a phone will stay connected to the WiFi network is was connected to unless this network drops completely, have you been able to try toggling the WiFi as suggested by our community member Client62?

AFAIK, the ability to roam seamlessly between Wifi beacons, is governed by the device, not the (in this case) VM Pods.

Hi thanks all for response.&nbsp;Regarding the solution of switching WiFi on and off, does not sound like an intelligent solution. To answer the question, yes it would switch connection device and can be seen as a last resort solution.It is not practical for me and family to switch their WiFi on and off every now and then as we move between rooms, kitchen and toilet whole day. Does it not sound funny.&nbsp;Mobiles and Laptops currently stay connected to its signal sender regardless of wifi strength. Even if WiFi drops to 1mbps, mobile does not switch to strong signal in same room.
