Trouble connecting Wifi pod with new router

Hi, 

I recently was sent a new router. I had a wifi pod that was paired with my old router. I have tried to reconnecting it to the new router, but I am not having any luck. I also tried using the Connect App, selecting Add Wifi Pod, but I am receiving an error message that says "According to our system you don't have any Wifi Pods to install". Per google it seems to say the wifi pod should reconnect automatically... but mine is not. 

Has anyone else had a similar issue? If so, how did you resolve it? 

Thanks,
Nick

Probably needs reactivating onto your account - try this....

Call the equipment activation number on - 0800 953 9500 (option 3) – you will need the Model numbers, serial numbers/MAC addresses off the barcode stickers of ALL pieces of kit and also your account number

Thanks @jbrennand.

I ended up unplugging it for 24 hours, and then plugged it back in and it worked!
