Hi wanting to order wifi pod

Hi again @Andy1982 

The wifi pods are free if you are on the Gig1 package, or Ultimate Oomph, or on a Volt bundle, however if you are on any other package then they are £8  a month.

I hope the following helps. You do need to use the Connect app to perform the Home Scan in the area where the signal is low(est)

The info below is a copy paste of the steps provided by @John_GS  (Forum Team) in how to order them when using the Connect app.

Tap Start the scan 
Then Start the scan again 
While connect to WiFi, Tap I’m ready 
Wait 2 mintues for Scan 
Scan complete, Tap continue 
Tap Add a room, Tap the room you're in 
Start the Scan (do this in every room) 
Scan complete 
Tap Optimise WiFi now if an option 
If so, Tap Optimise 
Optimisation complete, Tap Rescan room,  Tap Start Scan 
Tap Order a WiFi Booster if an option
If that doesn't work you can call  0800 064 3850 to order the first one 

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 ? 

How do I get a second or third WiFi Pod?
If you’re not getting download speeds of at least 20Mbps in every room with one WiFi Pod, you can request a second or third by signing in to My Virgin Media, clicking on Your Package and following the steps in the WiFi Max tab. 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.

Tried doing all that with connect app and optimization. Does give option to order. Was hoping someone could order from here

Hi @Andy1982 

Thanks for posting and welcome back to the community.

When you have used the Connect App, what was the result of the scans done please?

Best wishes.
