Virgin Media Wi-Fi boosters: what types are there
There are two types of Virgin Media boosters. The older variety, like the old Powerline Adapter, transmits your broadband connection over your home's electrical cabling. Simply connect one Powerline to the Virgin Media Hub and another Wi-Fi Powerline to the issue area to increase the signal to your wireless devices.
The newer types, such as the new Wi-Fi Pods, do not transfer the signal through your electrical wire. Instead, the Hub's signal is wirelessly sent from Pod to Pod.
