VM connect app won't connect to Hub4

Hey all,

The Virgin Media Connect app won't pick up my Hub 4 even when I'm on the VM wifi network for my Hub 4. I've tried resets, power flushes, cleared storage and cache for the app, no change. I wanted to get the wifi pods as I'm on the 1Gig plan and have some wifi dark spots in the house. Any other way I can order the wifi pods? Cheers all.

There are a few options.

Firstly call it in on the usual “faults” line - on 150 (VM Phone - free) or 0345 454 1111 (any other phone - national rate). Use option 2 (faults), dont press any other buttons when offered and you should be in the queue for the next agent see if they can get the pod for you (they come 1 at a time)

If you get cut off after an automated reboot cycle, just call back in a couple of minutes as the system should know that you have just been on and it hasn’t helped and put you in the queue.

Try now, but calling at 08.00 midweek (09.00 Sun) is the best time to get through quickly at busy/closed times you may get redirected to offshore - hence calling early is best.

You can text VM on 0753 305 1809 include account name/number and what the issue is, there is also a “Chat” option on their website - but note that replies usually take longer. Or you can speak to the team on WhatsApp by logging into your online account via a mobile handset and there will be a link to speak to VM by Whats App (the number is 0780 3089 684 ) - you can use the same number for their other social media platforms too (TwitX/Fbook. etc) - so try them all.

FINALLY… A VM person will pick this up on here and respond, but it can take a few days for them to get here.

The Connect app and the Hub 4 are not good bedfellows. 

Make sure the Hub 4 menu still works : http://192.168.0.1/  log in with the Hub password, do you get a menu ?
Or just a blank screen which means the Connect app has corrupted your Hub 4.

The Connect app is a real problem app, it is the solution to nothing and it does not ( as advertised )
contain a way to request or order VM Pods.

Hi Jackd5,

We're very sorry to hear your hub isn't connecting to the connect app. Are you using an Apple or Android device please when using the app?

Could you also please let us know what WiFi speeds are being recorded when doing speed tests in the home?

There is more information on our WiFi Max and WiFi guarantee here 

Please pop back to us when you can.

Hi Vikki,

I'm getting 240Mbps download speed on WiFi and I'm on android.

I know I have wifi black spots/lack of coverage in my house so i would simply like to order a few of the Wifi max pods. 

Kind regards,

Jack

Thanks for getting back to us @Jackd5 

240mbps is a good speed over WiFi and wouldn't be an issue that we'd send WiFi pods for. 

If these speeds weren't taken around/ in the area where the connection drops or you notice a slow speed, please do try the tests again, either on the connect app itself or Sam Know real speed test here

Once you've these post your results here and we'll be able to check for pod eligibility for you.
