Hi Mate ?
long time ? hope your good self and the fam are keeping well
I have a small one bed flat but the walls are that thick I’m certain I’d be safe from a direct hit of a nuclear missile ?
i reluctantly switched to VM nearly 2 years ago and I’ve had the usual problems of it dropping regularly , They sent me 3 of those Wi-Fi pods ( one for each important room ) as pretty much everything here is connected , usual stuff Alarm, Hive, ring door bell , bPhilips Hue , TV’s PS5 and plenty of other devices and so on but with upgrading my cctv on the outside about 6 months ago the Wi-Fi was becoming more unstable with drop outs were getting more frequent
So I bought a mesh system and I initially noticed a slight improvement but then it quickly got worse than ever , so much so I couldn’t play the PS5 because it would drop all the the time only for 20 secs or so but that disconnect from the current online game and was starting to miss ring door bell notifications
so I sent the mesh system back and bought a more expensive one on prime day
I reset the full VM system back to factory defaults and set up the new mesh wifi system and holy moly it’s the best I’ve ever saw it
Since July it’s not dropped once and the speeds are amazing
I have the 1gb plan with Virgin Media
on my phone I have saw speeds of up to 800 mbs , and on the PS5 which is connected directly by Ethernet over 900 mbs upload speeds on all devices are steady at 105 mbs
Ive just had a look at the system I bought and it’s on sale then now , I’ll attach the link
my own personal experience of those pods is they are not much more than decoration that take on the space of 2 plugs
but this mesh system is fantastic
I’ve just checked and I’ve currently got 23 devices connected just now including Eufy 4k cameras on my outside walls and I can stream the live feed seamlessly
I always change my WiFi networks name and password , but once I had reset it the system goes back to the default log in details , but once I changed it back to my personalised one all the devices rember it and log in automatically
so I’d def go down the reset procedure first before you set up the WiFi pods to hopefully get rid of any gremlins in the system
good luck mate ??
here’s the system I bought in July
