I have a Virgin hub 4 and I have connected to an apple airport extreme 6th gen via ethernet.
Can I replace the Apple airport with the wifi pod and still keep the pod connected over ethernet? IE I would be extending my network the same as I have done with the apple AE but just using the wifi pod instead.
Also can I run separate SSID's for 2.4 & 5GHz via the wifi pod?

Mine is similar but I have the two networks on separate SSID's. And this is replicated by the AE's in the back room and the one upstairs. I did this because I am all Apple and all my Macbooks/iPhones are smart enough to seamlessly change networks between "AE-2" and "AE-5" - when the 5GHz network goes out of range. Fortunately the 5GHz network fully covers the whole of my 3-bed semi easily - so it only happens when I am at the bottom of the garden 😎
I picked up the AE2's on ebay for about £20 each and they have worked brilliantly.

I have the same setup at home using a hub 4 and Apple AirPort. was sent a wifi pod so tried it out, not as good as the AirPort ended up reverting back to the my previous setup and the pod was put back in the box. As John says its 'Poundstore' in comparison to the Apple AirPort. I wish Apple will start making them again with Wifi 6 capability.
