Hi Dave_J1,

Thank you for reaching out to us in our community and welcome back, glad to hear your 2 Pods are connected and working for you so far, please let us know your findings once you try an Ethernet cable.

Regards

Paul.

Hi Paul - I can confirm the pods do indeed work when used with ethernet backhaul. My test was to check my internet speed on my phone standing in a blackspot area with no pod present (only about 1-2Mbps), then with a pod placed in that same area, and connected to the hub via ethernet, the phone internet speed is about the same as when I'm connected directly to the Hub5 (around 700Mbps).

It would be nice if the VM Connect App could be updated indicate this, instead of just appearing like it is using wireless connection back to the Hub5. Perhaps you could pass that on to the app dev team?
