Intelligent pods set up problems

[BlackpooLWelsh]

My Intelligent WiFi pods arrived yesterday and have plugged it in and left it but white light keeps glowing on and off, which means it has not set up. Have tried in plug next to router and still no joy. Spoke to customer services and was told that someone from IT would call me but no one has as yet.  It says if having problems to reset them but I can't find any information on how to do that.

The first check is to confirm that your broadband Hub is correctly configured.

The Hub must be configured in Router Mode with a single SSID covering both the 2.4 and 5 GHz WiFi bands.

In addition, Intelligent WiFi must be configured by enabling Channel Optimisation in the Router settings.

That's all correct but still no joy

…then the WiFi Pod is not correctly associated with your Hub and you will need to call in to get this fixed or wait here until Virgin Media staff respond, possibly in a couple of days.

Spoke to someone at call centre and waiting for a 2nd line call from tech help, still no joy with pod. Being sent another one but would have like the call that i have been promised to try and sort out the one i already have.

Call the equipment activation number they may be able to help. It's 0800 953 9500 and you will need the Hub serial number/MAC address from the barcode sticker, and your account number.

Also make sure the Hub and Pod are in close proximity until they are paired.  Once done you can move the Pod, but not to a black spot.  The Pods still need to communicate to the Hub or they will not work.  They should be placed halfway between the Hub and the black spot.  If this distance is too far from the Hub, you will need an additional Pod to relay the signal.

Contacted the number you mentioned, they have said there is a fault with my line and thats probably the reason that the pod wont connect, engineer is coming on thursday to hopefully sort the problem with the line and the pod
