WiFi Pods
Hi I have 1gb Internet and the hub struggles with signal in one of my bedrooms and the third floor. I received a wifi pod today and it has improved the signal from 10mb to 20mb in the impacted bedroom and still have no signal on the third floor. I have now conducted multiple tests on the VM connect app. I know I need a second and a third pod. I called up customer service multiple times today and they said their systems were down, to wait another 48 hours and other various excuses. I just want to use the service I was promised throughout my property. How can I solve this? Thanks!121Views0likes8CommentsFactory restore, restores problems
Hello, I have a hub 5 with 2 extender pods, the pods are identifying as TV boxes and my dashboard in the connect app is showing 9 TV boxes, as it is allocating IP addresses to devices I don't use any more that I can't delete. Every time I do a reset it just downloads this rubbish configuration from VM's servers and breaks my WiFi again. Had an engineer and mentor out today who replaced my Hub 5 and of course it immediately populated itself with the same screwed up device list. I just want to start again and have my router and the extender pods showing, then slowly add devices that I do use. The engineers said they'd never seen anything like it and just took a pic of my wierd connect app appearance. I have turned off smart WiFi, removed Connect app, cleared cache, restarted phone and still a factory reset of the router drags a garbled mess in from the cloud and the WiFi test on the router says you have problems. I've just about had enough. Please help41Views0likes6CommentsWiFi Pod not reconnecting
My WiFi pod has stopped working and will not reconnect to my hub. White light continues to flash. Have removed and tried to reinstall on VM Connect. Have restarted Hub. Have left pod unplugged for few minutes and then restarted in the same room as Hub but still not reconnection. Is there anything else to try or do I need a replacement pod?

Had a 1gig line installed two days ago… speed seems ok in all but one of the bedrooms, where my son has his PlayStation. Speed is typically around 10mb download, which is unusable. i have run tests on the virgin app to confirm this, however it is not clear how to get a ‘pod’ issued for a speed under the guaranteed minimum limit if 30mb. i have tried calling and end in an infinite loop of automated robots. Can any one help? There is nothing in the app I can see to order a pod. It just tells me to restart the router.51Views0likes1CommentPod use when moved to differnt home and Hub
I have two accounts with VM and used a Pod at one but decided to use an Access point instead. That property had a Hub 4 and 600 mbps broadband. Now I have the Pod but don't use it. On my other account I have a Hub 5 and 1Gig broadband and use a Pod to extend the WiFi using an ethernet backhaul. Is there any chance of using the Pod from the home with a Hub 4 to my flat that uses a Hub 5?25Views0likes1CommentWiFi keeps cutting out, pod won't install
Hi there. I keep getting my WiFi cutting out, particularly when using my smart speaker or streaming. It's been going on about a month. I've tried over the last few days to install a WiFi pod to see if that would help, but installation won't complete successfully. It's really frustrating! I've done WiFi speed tests which show it's really good, but it's constantly cutting out. Advice please!34Views0likes4CommentsCan't order a wifi pod
I have downloaded the app and did the assessment of my rooms. while getting full signal in my living room where the hub is, and a 500 mb download speed, in my bedroom it is 14. My contract allows me to get 3 wifi pods but i am not even able to order 1 as the customer service keeps on asking me to reset the modem. Anybody knows how we can order the pods like we have the right to order one?69Views0likes6CommentsWiFi pods
I have had my new virgin wifi set up for a couple of weeks now and the signal is good close to the router but it doesn’t reach the rooms furthest away. I am a volt customer but I haven’t been able to order wifi pods through the wifi test as the test only works when I have wifi, which I don’t in this area! is there any other way to order? Thanks!40Views0likes2CommentsUnable to order WiFi pods
I feel like I am going around in circles to get Wi-Fi pods. The app won't give me the option to order one, despite the scans showing low speeds in multiple zones and totally unable to connect to wi-fi in some rooms. It's impossible to get through to anyone on the phone. I am desperately searching for someone for Virgin Media to assist me with this as I've only been a customer for a fortnight and everything seems such a struggle to complete. I've tried the Customer Service numbers from this forum but end up going around in loops.2.2KViews3likes18Comments
