If your daughters room is where you wish to have better coverage the pod should be located about half way from her room to the Hub.

Her room is basically a dead zone for internet so I put it in her room but I’ll try that, thanks.

The pod is a radio relay.  It need to be in a position where is gets a decent signal to re-broadcast further into the home.

If the pod in a dead zone it also can't hear the Hub's WiFi so can't work as intended and often makes matters even worse.

Any suggestions as to what I can do?

Pods should always be placed as near as possible mid way between the VM hub and the target machine. If they are in the same location as the target they will just be getting the same strength WiFi signal as the target machine and retransmit a low level signal.
