WiFi Pods No Longer Working

JeffGlaister
On our wavelength

Hi, I've been having problems with my VM service for a while now, one of the issues was a lack of WiFi signal at the rear of the house. I asked for a WiFi pod which I was entitled to on my package, but for some reason it took numerous calls and complaints before I could speak to someone who managed to order a pod for me. This arrived and everything was working. In the course of finding out why this had taken too long, I was eventually offered an upgrade to my Hub 4 to a Hub 5 and a technician visit was scheduled for yesterday (Sat 25th). In readiness for the tech arriving, I backed up the Hub 4 and reset it to factory settings as I didn't want my old Hub going back with my network credentials loaded up. When the tech arrived he didn't have a replacement Hub 5 for me and just did some tests on my line, which to be honest was never my problem. Anyway apparently these was a fault on my cable coming to the house, so a further visit was arranged. Because he hadn't switched my Hub and I had been promised, I reverted the Hub 4 back to my settings by reloading the configuration backup I had taken. Once back online with my settings, I tried the connection to the WiFi pod and found this no longer works. So now I am back with the problem I had 5 weeks ago!!! I have moved the pod, waited, done all the diagnostics and still no connection. Do I now have to go through the cumbersome support to try and get something that was working re-working and have another tech who hadn't been given the correct work order back to my house. Really poor customer service from Virgin Media.

Do the WiFi Pods reconnect if the Hub 4 is RESET to the factory option

It looks like they don't, VM are apparently going to send me a new one - seems a very rubbish way of going about things. I only reset it because I was supposed to be getting an upgraded hub and I restored the backup configuration rather than re-configuring the router.

Makes one think a WiFi extender bought in a retail store would be a lot easier to control.
