Wifi - WiFi app will not connect to the hub

[Itsgregok]

• Hi we've just had a new virgin broadband installed but the WiFi app will not connect to the hub through my phone as I want to test the speed/ black spot. Just keeps saying something went wrong at our end. 
• Any help would be great thanks.

Hi Itsgregok, thanks for the message and welcome to the forums. 

I am sorry to hear that there is an issue with the app. 

Can you delete and reinstall the app and perform a reboot to see if anything changes?

Have you managed to get this working since posting? ^Chris.

Thanks for the reply, I've tried the uninstall and reinstall and rebooting but no luck. Also got in touch with the tech support about the fact that our WiFi booster will no connect so half the house is less than 5mbps.  They said an engineer would be in touch within 24 hours.  But that was 2 days ago now.  I'm getting very disappointed with the service as I never had this problem with my previous provider.

How long has VM been installed? If it isnt sorted to your satisfaction you can cancel and incur no charges whatsoever within your 14-day "cooling off" period.

What booster is it - or is it actually a "Pod" - see this...

VM now supply “wifi Pods” (no longer doing cheap and cheerless and poor value “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. VM Wifi is now “guaranteed” to 20 Mbps/room it’s now called… Wifi Max see.-
