I am struggling to purchase a wifi pod. My wifi doesnt reach a room in my flat so i was hoping to get something to help with this.
The virgin media website is not very clear on how to get a wifi pod.
Can someone help me with this?

What subscription are you on?
If you have to pay £8/month you may as well buy your own:

Hi KatieBraid
The pods are free on the Gig1 package, Ultimate Oomph, or any Volt bundle, however if you are on any other package then they are £8 a month.
You need to perform the Home Scan using the Connect app in the area where the signal is low(est) or as near to there as possible. The home scan feature will guide you from room to room to carry out WiFi speed tests. If it finds a potential signal-less spot, it’ll test your broadband speed to the WiFi Hub to make sure there isn’t a problem with your network.
If everything’s okay with the Hub, the app will take you through to order a WiFi Pod to help boost your WiFi connection.
How to perform the scan and order the wifi pods when using the Connect app.
If that doesn't work you can call 0800 064 3850 to order the first one
VM will only send out one at a time, and there must be at least 7 days before ordering each one. It's up to three in total depending upon coverage.
Following that if you need additional pods you can order them by logging into /my-virgin-media, as per the info below from https://www.virginmedia.com/wifi-max ?
