What package are you on and are the Pods being provided for free?
Pods are only free to customers on 1GB, Ultimate Oomph or Volt packages - is that you? If so its worth persevering - a VM person will sort it for you here when they get here in a day or so.
If not… you will be charged £5/month. Its a simple solution and should work for you. However, you would soon pay off that cost by buying a "better" 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).
Get either a… (1) Mesh System, (2) Wireless router, (3) Wireless access point (4) Powerline adapters, (5) A combination of (2,3,4).
