How to order WiFi pods?

[RevJC]

Hi there,

I'm also looking to order a WiFi Pod to boost my WiFi upstairs if possible - I am on Volt and have a 1GB connection so am hopefully eligible.

Thanks for your help 🙂

Hi @RevJC 

Thanks for coming back to the thread. There are a few requirements for the Pods to work with our Hubs:

•    The Hub must be in 'Router Mode' and not have been changed to 'Modem Mode'.
•    Channel Optimisation must be left on.
•    The SSIDs must be the same and broadcast enabled.
•    The SSID must be password protected.
•    The Passphrases of the SSIDs must match.

As long as all of the above points are all met then the Pod should automatically connect to your Hub's Wi-Fi and begin broadcasting. The wireless details from the Pod will be the same as the Hub's details, so no additional steps are required to connect the devices in the home.
