Virgin Media introduces Intelligent WiFi and Connect app

Buzz

Virgin Media has just announced the release of Intelligent WiFi and the Connect app, aimed at improving and accelerating broadband speeds in households by up to 3 times. Intelligent WiFi has been deployed on Hub 3 routers, and additional features in the app will automatically enhance coverage areas in households without the need for boosters.

Enhancements on Intelligent WiFi include Channel Optimization, Band Steering, and Airtime Fairness. Channel Optimization ensures devices switch to less congested WiFi channels, reducing interference and boosting WiFi signals. Virgin claims this could improve service for 18% of households.

With Band Steering, devices will switch between 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies to improve performance further. Virgin states that 25% of devices switch to the 5GHz frequency, offering higher speeds. Describing the third feature, the company says:

'Airtime Fairness feature ensures equitable WiFi sharing across connected devices. Some older devices may struggle to keep up with ultra-fast broadband speeds, which could impact WiFi performance in households. Intelligent WiFi will enhance WiFi sharing for devices in households.'

The new Virgin Media Connect app is now available to all users, providing tools to check WiFi strength from room to room to detect and address blind spots. Additionally, users can utilize the Connect app to manage and temporarily pause devices.
