The Pod may have lost it's registration with the Hub? 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.
Try placing the Pod beside the Hub for a while to see if that helps?
Also note, the Pods do not go in a backspot, but should be halfway between the blackspot and the Hub. If the Pod is in the blackspot, it will struggle to get a signal from the Hub, hence the halfway placement.
