Virgin media speed slowed down when I switched on pod

Hi all I currently have 3 Wi-Fi pods as have issues with Wi-Fi around the house. Before I had 2 and I was getting speeds wired of 250+ and my plan is the 500+ which I can understand but when I installed the 3rd pod the speed wired when down to 50 so I’ve restarted the hub and pods and still the same issue and Wi-Fi is around 100 but when I’m downstairs next to the router it’s 500+. Any solutions on what I can do.

The Pods use the wifi to communicate with each other, and every Pod "hop" will decrease the wifi speed. 

I don't have or want the Pods, so I'm not sure if they support a wired backhaul?  This is where an ethernet cable is run from the Pod back to the Hub, hence the wifi is not needed for communication.

Hey ranvealiu, thank you for reaching out and a warm welcome to the community I am sorry to hear you are having some issues with the pods.

As mentioned above they all work together providing you with the best possible signal they can.

As long as you getting above the 20MBS WIFI max guarantee this means there is no major issues.
