WiFi Pod not connected to new Hub 5x

Hello,

We had a "health check" engineer visit yesterday, and one of the things he did was switch our Hub 5 for a Hub 5x. Everything's good, except our WiFi Pod which does not seem to be connected to the new Hub. It is displayed as Offline in the Virgin Media Connect app, but instructing it to reboot through the app seems to work.

Could we get the WiFi pod updated to work with the new Hub please?

  • Hey Time042, thank you for reaching out and I am sorry to hear your pods are not working.

    When the VM engineer is on site and on the phone to the activation team dealing with the replacement Hub activation, it would be very easy and very helpful to also deal with the re-pairing of the customer's VM Pods.

      I have a similar problem. Since the engineer came out only 1 of 3 pods is connected leaving poor signal in areas around the house.

      please advise. I can’t get through to an engineer

    You said the Hub was changed from a 5 to a 5x. They use entirely different network connections. What else was done as part of this 'health check'?
