I am trying in vain to connect the Virgin Media connect app to my hub 3. I have currently tried the following:

Download connect app

Signed in with my Virgin Media primary username

Reset hub

Ran connect app 

Could not find hub 3

Disconnect wifi extenders

Try app again

Could not find hub 3

Turned off anti-virus

Ran app 

Could not find hub 3

Lights on hub not flashing

Nothing appears to work, I would be very grateful of some advice of what I can do to get my wifi working.

You don't need the Connect App to "get Wifi working".

What are you trying to actually achieve?

My wifi works only with a weak signal. I have a 100 mbps connectivity therefore I think that I should be getting a better wifi signal.

How do i get a better wifi signal if I do not use the Virgin Media Connect App?

[gary_dexter]

Your speed/bandwidth has nothing to do with WiFi signal strength.
Or speeds for that matter, as only wired speeds are guaranteed.

How do I improve wifi signal strength?

[gary_dexter]

Split/rename the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands.

Choose less congested channels for each band, disable "Smart WiFi".

Failing that you can put the hub into Modem Mode and add your own better router or mesh system.

If you have an Android mobile phone there is an App you can download that allows you to "look" at the Wifi networks close to you. Its called WiFiman.

This allows you to "see" if there are other networks using the same Channel as you are.  Its possible to configure the Hub3 to used a different wifi channel/s.

Thanks, I have downloaded the app and set the router on various channels that appear to have less traffic. But on no channel do I get a strong wifi signal, most channels are either weak or medium.

Then you need to invest in your own better wifi equipment and run the hub in modem mode
