How many WiFi pods can I use
How many WiFi Pods do I need If you've run a speed test on the Virgin Media Connect app and aren't getting download speeds of at least 20Mbps in every room, you can get up to three WiFi Pods – and if that doesn't help, we'll add £100 credit on your next bill.
Are WiFi pods same as WiFi extender
Spectrum WiFi Pods are WiFi extenders that help maximize WiFi performance. WiFi Pods eliminate dead spots and provide greater range and strength of home WiFi coverage in the rooms and floors with weaker WiFi signal.
Where should WiFi pods be placed
Place your router in a central location
Using a central location for your router will help it connect to all your Pods equally. If your home's layout prevents this, position your Pods to cover the area farthest from your router. Note: Do not place your Pods outdoors or near open windows.
What is a WiFi pod
What are Wi-Fi pods and what are they used for Wi-Fi pods are small devices you plug into a power outlet. They help improve your wireless connection by eliminating areas where coverage weakens, also known as “dead zones.” You'll then enjoy consistent coverage in every room.
Are WiFi pods worth it
xFi Pods improve your Gateway's Wi-Fi range, but—as with all mesh Wi-Fi systems—you'll lose a little bit of Wi-Fi download performance with a Pod. But if you're in an area of your home with poor internet speeds, your internet speeds will still be faster with a Pod compared to if you didn't have a Pod installed.
Can you have too many WiFi pods
Maximum number of Wifi routers or points
We recommend a maximum of 5 Wifi devices in a single network. Adding more might be detrimental to Wi-Fi performance.
Are WiFi pods necessary
Most of the time, two Wi-Fi Pods will be enough to meet your Wi-Fi needs and are recommended for homes or businesses between 1,500 and 3,000 square feet. More Wi-Fi Pods may be required for homes or businesses with more than 3,000 square feet, more than 3 storeys (including a basement), or more than 3 bedrooms/offices.
How far do WiFi pods extend
Connected in Every Corner
With Spectrum Advanced WiFi, WiFi extenders help keep your devices online with up to 800 sq. feet of coverage from a single pod.
How far apart should WiFi pods be
Your pods work as a team, so they need to be close enough to communicate with one another. Try to space them evenly, no more than 5 to 7 metres apart for Wi-Fi Pod Minis and 10 to 14 metres apart for Wi-Fi Pods. Ideally, place the pods along the interior walls separating the rooms rather than exterior walls.
How far do WiFi pods reach
20 to 32 ft. when through walls and 32 to 50 ft. in open spaces. Non-traditional shaped homes, or homes with dense construction materials (e.g. concrete/brick) may require additional pods to provide adequate coverage.

Do WiFi pods increase speed
The number of "hops" the pod needs to make to the Gateway will impact the speed. Regardless of whether you are using Pods, your Internet speed is limited to your speed tier, and Pods will not increase that speed. In addition, a number of other factors affect Internet speed, including your connection type (Ethernet vs.

How many WiFi extenders is too many
Two or three extenders can help you get a strong Wi-Fi connection throughout your home, but you should only get that many if you need to. Try testing out your signal strength with one first, and only then consider getting another if you're still having issues.

Can I use 3 WiFi extenders
While connecting two or more Wi-Fi extenders to a single router is fine, you shouldn't connect one extender to another wirelessly. Multiple Wi-Fi extenders can also interfere with each other if you don't use different channels for each.
Do I need a WiFi booster in every room
So if you have rooms that are quite far away from it, or even metal separating your walls, such as a rolled steel joist, its Wi-Fi range might not be strong enough to reach every corner of your house. Wi-Fi boosters can help to boost the Wi-Fi connection and ensure you have a strong signal all around your home.
How many WiFi extenders should I have
Two or three extenders can help you get a strong Wi-Fi connection throughout your home, but you should only get that many if you need to.
Can I use 2 WiFi extenders with 1 router
While connecting two or more Wi-Fi extenders to a single router is fine, you shouldn't connect one extender to another wirelessly.
Can you have 2 WiFi boosters in one house
If you are struggling with dead spots or limited connectivity in your home, it is possible to use two range extenders to boost the wireless signal and get a strong signal.
Is A WiFi extender better than a booster
Compared to extenders, Wi-Fi boosters offer faster speeds and support more devices at once.
Can you have 3 WiFi extenders
With that in mind, we can't recommend using multiple extenders as it's like applying multiple bandages to the same problem. If your Wi-Fi coverage is cruddy enough that you're considering using multiple extenders, you should instead upgrade your router.
Do multiple WiFi extenders slow down Internet
It is actually as severe as going past 50% on a single hop (it means using a single extender). But, if you decide to use a secondary WiFi extender to connect to the first, it can be game over for your Internet connection, since the bandwidth will be reduced to nothing.
