Virgin Media Connect

About

The Virgin Media Connect app allows users to manage their home WiFi network remotely. It suits customers who want to optimize their internet experience, such as pausing WiFi for specific devices during bedtime or troubleshooting connection issues without needing to be near the router.

What Stands Out

• •Perform a WiFi home scan to identify dead zones and test speeds throughout your house.
• •Temporarily disable WiFi access for individual devices, useful for enforcing screen time limits.
• •Reboot your Virgin Media Hub remotely to resolve connectivity problems.
• •Generate a QR code for easy guest WiFi access sharing.

Things to Consider

The "pause/unpause" feature may have issues with the Hub 5x model. Additionally, ordering WiFi Pods incurs monthly charges, and details can be found on the Virgin Media website. Accessibility features are still under development for full support.

Useful Tips

1. 01Use the WiFi home scan to pinpoint areas with weak signal strength.
2. 02Create a guest network to provide visitors internet access without sharing your main password.
3. 03Reboot your Hub through the app if you experience slow or intermittent internet.
4. 04Manage your WiFi network name and password directly within the app for security.
