Router Relocation

My router is currently located upstairs and the front of my house. I want to relocate this to downstairs in the middle of the house. Is this something that I can arrange with virgin? Or do myself?

Not a DIY job !!

VM will do this for a reasonable £25.  They will recable everything with new co-ax cable of the correct spec. - and re-balance the Hub channels power levels at the new location.  Just be sure you are there when its done to ensure everything gets put where you want it rather than in the "easiest" new location.

Firstly call it in on the “faults” line - on 150 (VM Phone - free) or 0345 454 1111 (any other phone - national rate). Use option 2 (faults), dont press any other buttons when offered and you should be in the queue for the next agent.

If you get cut off after an automated reboot cycle, just call back in a couple of minutes as the system should know that you have just been on and it hasn’t helped and put you in the queue.

Try now, but calling at 08.00 midweek (09.00 Sun) is the best time to get through quickly at busy/closed times you may get redirected to offshore - hence calling early is best.

You can text VM on 0753 305 1809 include account name/number and what the issue is, there is also a “Chat” option on their website - but note that replies usually take longer. Or you can speak to the team on WhatsApp by logging into your online account via a mobile handset and there will be a link to speak to VM by Whats App (the number is 0780 3089 684 ) - you can use the same number for their other social media platforms too (TwitX/Fbook. etc) - so try them all.

FINALLY… A VM person will pick this up on here and respond, but it can take a few days for them to get here.

Hi @AGS92,

Thank you for your post and welcome to our community forums. We're here to help.

As @jbrennand has mentioned, this is something we can help with by sending out an engineer to perform the rearrange of your install set up, but there would be a £25 call out fee to do this.

If you're happy to accept that fee and proceed, please answer the private message I'll be sending your way shortly and we'll go from there.

Thanks,
