🟩 Intro
If you live in West or Northwest London, chances are you’ve tried Virgin Pods to fix Wi-Fi dead zones. But as many homeowners have discovered — they don’t always reach every corner.
That was exactly what happened for one of our recent clients in Hayes. Good broadband coming in… but patchy Wi-Fi through the house and zero connection in the garden room.
🟦 The Problem
Despite having Virgin Pods, the client still faced:
Dropouts in several rooms
No usable Wi-Fi in the garden room
Frustration when streaming TV or working from home
Virgin Pods aren’t bad — they’re just not designed for complex layouts or garden extensions.
🟦 Our Solution
We installed a Wi-Fi 6 mesh network, engineered specifically for the property layout. The mesh nodes create one intelligent network, handing devices off seamlessly — no dropouts, no switching.
No drilling. No cables. Just smart coverage.
✅ Full signal throughout the main house ✅ Stable Wi-Fi in the garden room ✅ Speed jump: 5 Mbps → 150 Mbps (wireless)
