I have 2 WiFi boosters that seem to have failed
How do I order replacements, please?

Crystal ball gazing ....
Has the VM Connect app has been used with a Hub 4 and now the VM Pods are offline ?
Disabling Smart Wi-Fi in the VM Hub menu can also cause the VM Pods to disconnect.

Hi @SteveOM
Welcome back to the community forums
Sorry to hear you're having issues with your WiFi pods at this time. Are you able to provide details as to what's happened and what is showing they've failed and we can support you further here if needed?

Sorry I’m not very good with tech. 👴
They both no longer show the light. App tells me I’m not home but I am. I use to be able to use my phone out in the back garden but since these WiFi boosters have ‘failed’ in my opinion, I can’t use my phone in the garden as I use to be able to.
my speed taken today is download 249 and upload 94. I’m guessing that’s good but I am paying for 1Gbps. Sorry but I do not know how to check the boosters further.

Not home can mean ...
1) Using an iPhone on Wi-Fi with Apple Relay ( a type of VPN ) enabled.
2) Or a mobile that is not connected by Wi-Fi and is using mobile data.

No, Not really, although I thank them for their help. They are always appreciated. I have now forwarded a complaint. I am waiting for a response. It used to be easy to contact Virgin but now all things seem very difficult, at least for old people who find tech moves so fast nowadays it's hard to keep up. All I want is to replace wifi boosters. I don't want to know how to communicate with my Router. If you know what I mean. Anyway. Thanks to all.
