Hi,
I spoke to an agent via WhatsApp to order Wi-Fi pods for slow internet spaces in my house on Saturday, he confirmed he had ordered them for me but I have not received any confirmation or tracking emails.
I have tried to order them over the VM connect app but did not get a prompt for this.
Any help to check if they have actually been ordered would be appreciated.

Hi @Matty7
Thanks for posting and welcome to the community.
OK so I need to firstly clarify, we'd only send one Pod at a time, to ensure they're needed. Most issues are fixed via one Pod.
I will send you a PM though to help with the delivery.
Best wishes.

Hi @Matty7
Thanks for joining me on PM and advising you've now received the Pod.
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.
