We can’t detect your WiFi Pod now…

When I realised there was suddenly no WiFi in our back bedroom, I ran a quick check and the WiFi pod was not connected to the network. No matter what I have tried over the last three days, I cannot get any further than a screen telling me ‘We can’t detect your WiFi pod now.” 
Slightly frustrating! Any help gratefully received.

Relocate the Pod to beside the Hub and it should reconnect.  Once it has paired, move the Pod back to your desired position.  NOTE - Pods do not go into the "blackspots", they should be placed halfway between the Hub and the problem area.  The Pods need a good signal from the Hub so they can retransmit the Wifi signal onwards to the problem area.

Hi there @ManchesterMet 

Thank you so much for your post and welcome to the community forums it's great to have you here. 

I am so sorry that you have faced this issue with your Pod and a big thank you to Adduxi for their advise and help so far. 

Have you been able to try the Hub in a new location at all?

Hi,

Thank you for the tip. I’m trying it now. I’ll plug it in right next the hub and give it a while to see what happens. Fingers crossed!

No joy - it hasn’t worked. It still hasn’t been seen by the app. It just says, repeatedly, “We can’t detect the WiFi pod right now. “. It’s a bit infuriating now! 

Hi ManchesterMet,
