Black pod reducing speed

[Tyler2k1]

Hello I have gig1 and trying to achieve higher speeds on my console and phone upstairs in my room our hub 5 is in the living room, today our first black wifi pod arrived and I’ve installed it on my bedside table and it’s not seeming to bring the speed up into my room in fact my Xbox and phone got more speed from the hub 5 by itself is there any reason this is happening, or is it possible to wire the pod to my Xbox even tho it’s over a wireless connection between the hub and pod cause I can’t run a cable from the hub 5 to the Xbox unfortunately unless virgin move the router etc which has a charge any help would be appreciated right now the pod is giving my phone around 400mbps and my Xbox 130 Mbps with loads of latency !!

"Check for any firmware updates available for your Hub 5 and the pod, and changing the wireless channel on your Hub 5 can sometimes reduce interference from other networks. Unfortunately, WiFi pods typically extend the WiFi signal wirelessly and aren't designed to be wired directly to devices like your Xbox. However, you can try connecting your Xbox directly to the pod wirelessly, but this might not be as stable as a direct wired connection."
Totally wrong and incorrect advice from an AI Bot. User cannot change any of these.

I believe (though I don't have one) the black pods can be backhauled via cable, and they can also be used to cable a device, as they have two ethernet ports?  Part of the problem, IMHO, is there is no management software for the VM Intelligent Wifi, so you can't really see what is going on with the Hub and Pods etc.

However, for best gaming you should really be looking to wire the xbox directly to the Hub.  Any Wifi extender device will incur latency, that's just the way it is.  Just make sure the Pod is in a good place to receive a strong signal from the Hub, or use a wired backhaul if possible.

The original post reads like a spam bot too.

Thanks for your help I’ll definitely take this into consideration, pinky promise no bots here I’m just trying to get anything from 400-500 Mbps on my Xbox here wireless or wired would it be worth wiring the Xbox to the pod

You accepted the solution of a bot mind. However the AI stuff in the bot post worked that's good to hear (to an extent).

The bit that the bot missed was when you said

"I’ve installed it on my bedside table and it’s not seeming to bring the speed up into my room."

This is because the pod can only pass on the signal it receives. In your room it's only getting the same poor signal as the other devices there. You need to be located half way between the Hub and your room, so it can receive a better signal to pass on into your room.

I should have said "The pod needs to be located..." Not "You need to be located..."

They've taken away the abilipy to edit posts!
