The Virgin Media Connect app is the control unit for your WiFi that helps get your lightning-fast, reliable Virgin Media broadband up and running. We know how useful the Connect app has been for helping you manage your WiFi in your home. So we’ve launched a shiny new version that’s even better than before.
The Connect app lets you run a super-intelligent WiFi home scan to smooth out any snags, speed up your connection all around the house, and pause WiFi to any device when you need to – perfect for when it’s the kids’ bedtime.*

Here’s a closer look at what the Connect app can do…
The app’s available to all Virgin Media Broadband customers. And don’t forget, our WiFi guarantee with WiFi Max is our promise you’ll enjoy download speeds of at least 30Mbps in every room or get £100 bill credit. It’s backed up by our signal-boosting mesh WiFi Pods (if needed) and Intelligent WiFi service – at no extra cost with Gig1 Fibre Broadband and our Volt packages.
This means if you don’t get download speeds of at least 30Mbps in every room, you can bag up to 3 WiFi Pods, on us – and if that still doesn’t do the trick, we’ll pop £100 credit on your next bill. Whether you’re upstairs or downstairs, our WiFi Pods adapt to how and when you use WiFi, and automatically tackle issues before you need to.

Run a super-intelligent WiFi home scan
)
It’s our new-and-improved two-step speed test powered by Cisco ThousandEyes. First, it tests your broadband speed to make sure there are no issues. Then, it guides you around your home, room by room, to check WiFi performance in each one. Just connect to the Hub, tap “Start the scan” then let the app take you through the rest. If the scan finds any areas without superfast WiFi, we’ll suggest ways to improve it – with our WiFi Pods, for example. Sorted!
