change pod ssid ?

Can you have the pod use a different ssid to the hub  ?

Or, can you force certain devices to use the pod and not the hub  ?

I have a camera that is a few feet from my new pod, yet only connects to the hub and then complains it's a "poor network" !

Thanks

No & No !

One can return the VM Pod and buy a retail Wi-Fi Repeater these do allow the repeated signal to have a different SSID.  E.g VM1234567 from the VM Hub and VM1234567_EXT1 from the Repeater.

For the same money you could get a wireless access point with GB ports and position it in the "dead" zone and then connect it to the Hub on cat 6a ethernet cable.

Wifi will then be perfect.
