WiFi booster

[finbar]

Hi Folks

I've just switched on the power to my virgin media system after being away for a few days and I've noticed that power light for my primary WiFi booster(PG-9073LG-VM), set isn't coming on. Any ideas?

Call it in as faulty.

They "may" be able to replace it - but more likely will want you to take one of their newer "Pods".

If so see this...

VM now supply “wifi Pods” (no longer doing cheap and cheerless “boosters”). However, their Pods are only free to customers on the 1GB, Volt (or old Ultimate Oomph) packages - is that you? If so they are worth trying - they should work for you.

You do have to call in to order them (cant do it online) - or just wait here for a VM person to respond in a day or two and they will sort the first one for you .

If not… you will be charged £5/month (note - BT charge £10/mo for their whole home wifi solution). It’s a simple solution and should work for you. However, you would soon pay off that cost by buying your own wireless solution that will be yours to own and use forever, but it isn’t the simple plug and play option of the Pod(s).

You would need to get either a… (1) Mesh System, (2) Wireless router, (3) Wireless access point (4) Powerline adapters (+/- inbuilt Wifi,) (5) A combination of (2,3,4).

£40-100 should sort it for most customers with an average property and usage.

Hi finbar, 

Thank you for your post.

I am sorry to hear of the issue you've had with the pod - upon checking our systems I can see you have been able to order one. Please keep us posted on how you get on with this.

Cheers,
