VM router settings?

If the wifi reception/signal/speed hasn't improved, that most likely implies that the bottleneck is in the devices being used rather than the router/wifi setup itself.
 
So i have the deco mesh and i also have a couple of the pods (because they are free so wanted to see how they went)
I have a couple of the pods and they are basically a WiFi extender more than a mesh. They aren't there to get the best speeds they are there to cover the black spots in your home. They are basically plug and play, plug them somewhere where you have about 3 bars of signal but closer to where your black spots are. Leave for a couple of days and that's it.

I don't lose signal where I was before and get speeds where I don't get any buffering, so surely that's the point.

However the mesh system of the deco is better especially if you are able to hardwire them

Yes I bought a netgear mesh system in the end the pods were OK . Mesh system much better.

@channelking you don't put them in the room where the dead spot is.

You put them half way between the router and dead spot.

The biggest issue you have is virgin routers are rubbish at traffic management that is why I bought orbi system

You get a modem to deal with traffic management and things called satellites that deal with weak points of your WiFi.

Since installing we don't have any weak points on our WiFi.
 
I dont understand all these posts about poor WiFi

It's because the isp routers are shite, there's nothing that's going to help unless he changes his router, it really isn't difficult to understand lol

Tell me about it my ee router is pants luckily got the bt wholehome mesh system and every device connected to that
 
Gona just send them back. More hassle than it's worth it seems. Tried different settings and put in different places to no avail.

But I'm finding both SSIDs for WiFi bands are not showing now on my devices like the pods screwed it up.

Went into router changed SSIDs at the end of both to 2ghz and 5ghz and rebooted router but 5ghz ain't showing still. Anyone have any ideas?

Because you loose speed with just buying a router. Although you loose a bit with mesh system it's not ad much

Will have a go again tomorrow and speak to their technical team 2moro see what they say about the pods.

Could be I'm not setting up the pod properly or something as I have found signal or speed hasnt improved.

You haven't gave them a full 24 hours to zone in yet. Put them half way between your blackspot and your router. Where you have 3 bars on your phone, and just leave it. A decent hub will change between 2.4 and 5ghz depending on what you need hence why the pods have one network. No point sending them back when you can have 3 in your house and unless youre living in a mansion that will cover everywhere

Did leave them for about 24 hours.

Strange why pods can't connect to the two SSIDs instead of just one network with both 2.4ghz and 5ghz part of it.

Have only one pod other two they will be sending out with second one coming early next week. Have put the pod I have where signal is weak but no improvement.

Even if I end up having all 3 pods mate I don't see how that will make much difference when with the one pod I have the signal ain't improved and speeds are same as well. That's why was thinking send one I have back and cancel the other ones they supposed to send.

I would just send them back and get a deco mesh system and will help a lot tbh don’t take this personal but the amount of time you’ve messed around even waiting for your mate you could’ve easily bought a system and your speeds improved by now.
Take the plunge and get a mesh system bud seriously I had the sky WiFi boosters and they was shite I ended up getting bt wholehome discs and improved my speeds and black spots a lot
 
Get the other two pods, and put them in between your router and your current pod.

What's the distance from the router to the wifi blindspots?
