Having trouble locating the Virgin Media WiFi Hub 4 on the Connect app?
Verify Service Status
To verify the service status of your Virgin Media WiFi Hub 4, open the Connect app on your tablet or laptop. Go to the “Service Status” section within the app to check for any reported issues or outages. If everything appears to be normal, try restarting your hub to see if that resolves the issue.
Restart Hub and Devices
To restart your Virgin Media WiFi Hub 4, simply unplug the power cable, wait for 30 seconds, and plug it back in. Next, restart all connected devices like your tablet, laptop, or router. This should help the Connect app locate your Hub 4. If the issue persists, contact Virgin Media customer support for further assistance.
Disable Antivirus Temporarily
If you are unable to locate your Virgin Media WiFi Hub 4 on the Connect app, try disabling your antivirus temporarily. Temporarily disable your antivirus software and then try reconnecting to the app to see if the hub appears.
Sometimes antivirus programs can interfere with the connection process, causing devices to not show up on the app. If disabling the antivirus resolves the issue, you may need to add an exception for the Connect app to prevent future problems.
After making this adjustment, restart your device and try reconnecting to the app again. If the Virgin Media WiFi Hub 4 still does not appear, you may need to contact Virgin Media support for further assistance.

F.A.Q.
Why can’t I connect to Virgin Media Connect?
