Replacing a wi-fi Booster

I was wondering how I can order a replacement wi-fi booster as on of them is currently overheating so it fails daily.

VM no longer supply boosters - its Pods from now on.

However I believe they still have some old stock of boosters that they can use to replace faulty ones. You can try calling it in as a fault and take your luck that the CS rep knows what you mean and can sort it - without trying to get you to rent a Pod for £5/month (unless you qualify for a "free" one).

TBH - I would replace them with my own or a basic Mesh system. Look at the TP-Link range of powerline adapters with wifi - and their Mesh sytems

Do you mean "booster"| or one of their new Pods?

Are you paying any rental on them?
