Why did they make it that shape? It means that if you have a double wall socket then it blocks the second socket?

This works really well. I could only get wifi at the part of my garden that's next to my house. With my booster I can reach it on the other end of my garden, and I think my garden is about 50 foot long

Will this work if plugged into an out building. IE garden bar?

I have a question do you leave the plug in always or do you take it out

[mikkdc]

Did you get these pods when you upgraded to Gig1? I upgraded and got my Hub today but no pods. I'm not too sure I need them, though as I get 1.1gbs on my PS5 (which is ethernet) and a PS5 in the bedroom which is furthest away gets between 350-600mbps on WiFi, depending on time of day.

Does it need to be connected directly into a power socket on the wall for it to work or can you plug it into an extension lead with sockets?

The quality of this product is amazing. I also use this

Connected to one of these via ethernet right now, getting up to 600Mbps. However over the time we've had it the ping to London has gone from 16ms to like 30 on a good day with with lots of jitter up to 80ms. Can't tell if it's just the tribulations of WiFi or Virgin Media throttling once again!

hi @techroomuk thanks for the video. Do you know if these support ethernet backhaul? i.e. can i send internet signal to the pod via cable to improve the quality/strength of signal they put out?

[xb]

Can you use it with any Virgin broadband package ?

[tickious]

How do I get my camera to connect to the pod? My camera only uses 2.4 GHz. But does connect automatically to the pod, like it is only transmitting on 5 GHz?

[bob]

Is there a possble option to add a guest network on the wifi pods ?

[flatbit]

are these pod site specific what i mean is can you plug one in from a different account?

[HasnainAli-sgii]

If I split the frequencies for my virgin media hub 5 will the pod which is provided still work or not?

[pimeye]

Hi, I'm going crazy. I have Hub 5 and just got my first WiFi Pod. Plugged it in and eventually lights go out and I can see the pod see on the connect app BUT it states that it is Offline! I have moved it to different places in the house and the same. I have now plugged in two ethernet cables and the app states it is connected to 5 devices but it still states it is Offline! I have the correct default settings for the Hub. Any suggestions to change the Offline to something more encouraging? Thanks.

How does this compare to an orbi? Also what is the square foot range?

[phoenixforce]

Can i use this with my PS5 ethernet port? I have no access to my router so im wondeing if it will make the connection faster

[rohan_dsouza]

What's your upload speeds on the hub and the pods? I'm assuming i won't get over 100 Gbps for upload.

[hatdownlowofficial]

My question is I have a dead spot in my conservatory. I want one of these in my conservatory so I can wire my PlayStation to it but virgin website says you have to put it between your dead spot and the router are yours plugged in in your dead spots. ?

[Jonnnna]

How do you actually connect it to the hub ? Mine is plugged in but keep flashing white and I can’t search it on the app
