For the last couple of months, we've been getting frequent (multiple times per day) loss of broadband. This is across multiple devices and multiple operating systems. When the broadband drops out, if I go to Settings on my device, turn off WiFi then turn it back on again and select my network, broadband comes back.
We've had two engineer visits and a new router which hasn't fixed the problem. Today I ran an app called WiFi Analyser and this shows we are getting frequent short drops in the 2.4 GHz band to -100 dB with the normal level being -60dB. I've been into the Hub 3.0 and run its diagnostic tool. All the 9 wireless connected devices are reported as 'low signal strength'. Nothing has changed in our home setup to perhaps be the cause of the issue

The only ethernet connected device we have is a smart thermostat, so the problem is only seen on WiFi. The status light remains steady white when the connection drops. We are generally within 3 or 4 m of the router and the Virgin Connect app says the signal strength is 'great'

Hi space1999, thanks for the message and welcome to the forums.
I am sorry to hear that you are having WIFI issues and these can be resolved via the pods, have you now managed to order these?
How is the service since posting?

We are still getting interruptions and I have ordered a pod which I am expecting to arrive in the next day or two. I will try that before making any of the setting changes proposed.

Thank you for keeping us updated on this. Please do let us know how the pods go.
