Hi, I was trying for 1hour scan my house for Wi-Fi coverage, but I can’t do it as my Wi-Fi keeps cutting off. This happens on 2 sides across my house so I guess I need 2 pods to keep it running smooth. I am on volt package so as far I know I can have them with no extra cost. The only problem is during the scan I can’t see any option to order them. How to solve this?

Hi there @grops86, thanks for reaching out to us and a warm welcome to the Virgin Media forums.
I'm sorry to hear about the issues with the Connect App and the Wi-Fi when you're trying to scan the house.
I will be able to assist you on this and get the Wi-Fi pods sent out.
I will send a private message - watch out for the purple envelope inviting you in.
Kind regards,
Ilyas.

Hi I've got the same issue with WiFi completely dropping out so I can't go through on the app, could you help me too?

Hi Pinkle89,
Thanks for using the forums to get this issue with your WIFI looked into, I am sorry if this has been causing issues whilst trying to order WIFI pods. I would be more than happy to look into this for you.
I have checked on my side for any issues that could be causing your WIFI to drop out and I can see that your Hub hasn't been rebooted in nearly 5 weeks, if you could please try rebooting your Hub and allow it to settle after the reset it may rectify your WIFI issues.
We usually recommend rebooting the Hub every 2 weeks so that the data and stats can refresh, otherwise it could cause congestion along with intermittent/slow connection like you're experiencing now. I would also highlight this really helpful page about WIFI issues which may help too 👉 WIFI Issues.
Please let us know how you get on with the Connect App after doing this.

Hi I've rebooted the hub and then got a connection of 6Mbps in the bedroom, I can't get through to anything on the website even though it's come up with the poor connection, anything you can do to help?

Hi @Pinkle89
Thanks for coming back to the thread.
Have you used the Connect App to do the test? If so, have you done a full scan of the property?
Kind regards,

Hi yes I did use the connect app, pretty much every room is ok but the bedroom is a black hole, if there's a connection in there it's very low rate, it showed up on the app as 6Mbps.
Trying to do the test on the app I had to attempt about 5 times before getting anything but oops something went wrong, try again in 10 minutes
