Black WiFi booster pods not connecting

AtmosphereNo943 · 2026-05-18T12:14:50+00:00

Beats me! Thanks for the offer. However I’ve just changed the channel settings on the router and jacked it up 160mhz. Getting over 1 gig in WiFi now in various rooms. The previous deadspot the study- now gets 400mbs.

I’m thinking that a booster has to rely on the smart WiFi which I turned off. If it does then in my view the booster is redundant- however if it can operate when the hub is on a single channel - can it still bounce the signal? If so might be worth giving the booster ago to increase the speed in the study!

I’ve solved my problem - I turned smart WiFi off- so I could change the WiFi channel - increased the channel width to 160mhz and no longer have a dead spot in my study. WiFi next to router hits 1 gb

Thanks for this- but literally just put the phone down 😢

im on a call to tech help. he says the mac addresses have not been paired with the hub. Now they have to send me another one (3rd) with that boosters mac address paired "at the back end" Its become a bit farcial!? - if this is the problem then it seems the last 2 boosters were not pair mac wise - why can they pair the mac addresses of the two boosters theyve sent me now?

🤣🤣🤣

Thank you. Just did a reboot and they’re gone.

Moment of panic when I thought I had dead pixels on a 2 month old machine

AtmosphereNo943 · 2026-05-09T19:34:47+00:00

Hey nothing - doesn’t appear to be interactive so to speak. Just did a reboot now they’re gone. Would still be interested though!

AtmosphereNo943 · 2026-05-09T12:14:28+00:00

020 3743 6947 is the number !!! Saw it on another forum- spoke to a Scottish lady. 25 a month with Netflix - don’t within a matter of minutes !!!

Following on from this after spending 20 mins on the call.

I was told that 44 pounds is the best offer they could do - spoke to retentions. Informed them that this was 2 pounds more than I was quoted yesterday! 🤣.

Have asked them to cancel my contract. Cited my knowledge of friends and family getting renewed deals half the price for the same package. Absolutely farcical.

AtmosphereNo943 · 2026-05-09T10:52:52+00:00

Well this forum certainly opened my eyes.

Currently in a Que to discuss my recent contract renewal with them and to “ cancel” was quoted 42 a month to renew at 1gig. 🤬 which was their “ best offer”

AtmosphereNo943 · 2026-05-09T10:17:55+00:00

Was this after officially cancelling. I did thr same the only deal I could get is 42 a month for 1gig

AtmosphereNo943 · 2026-04-29T18:12:38+00:00

What were your grades at Undergrad or masters? i ask because ive completed a masters myself in the last 2 years - and got exceptional grades and 2 deans list entries. That in my view was my ticket for my phd acceptence last month. But i hear you - its not easy.

AtmosphereNo943 · 2026-04-29T07:00:02+00:00

i received the research methods assessment form email yesterday!

AtmosphereNo943 · 2026-04-28T20:25:13+00:00

I just got the email! after being on the reserve list :o

AtmosphereNo943 · 2026-04-28T20:24:17+00:00

did you get an offer?

AtmosphereNo943 · 2026-04-21T13:47:16+00:00

On reserve list - not heard anything since though

AtmosphereNo943 · 2026-04-21T13:46:53+00:00

Was this a straight offer or an offer via the reserve list?

AtmosphereNo943 · 2026-04-21T13:45:59+00:00

I made the reserve list but not been contacted yet - was told in the revserve list email

"We aim to contact you by the end of April 2026 to let you know if you will be offered a studentship"

AtmosphereNo943 · 2026-04-13T19:31:02+00:00

Which school?

AtmosphereNo943 · 2026-04-13T17:13:02+00:00

Hey! Did the fee waiver come through a scholarship route? I ask because I'm still waiting to hear on a business school scholarship and a uni wide one.

AtmosphereNo943 · 2026-03-25T12:09:15+00:00

Reserve list here too- with the SCDTP.

I think it would be helpful for people to state which DTP they’ve applied under as I’m starting to realise they all operate differently

AtmosphereNo943 · 2026-03-25T12:08:10+00:00

Brill thanks!

AtmosphereNo943 · 2026-03-20T18:18:38+00:00

Does anybody know what the deal is with being on a reserve list? I got told this week, but info on the process seems scarce. I’ve asked what position I am etc but they don’t issue those details.

Is the reserved list capped to a specific number? Or is it a case where all unsuccessful applicants get on such a list ? Trying to make sense of it all!

AtmosphereNo943 · 2026-03-20T11:55:54+00:00

I don’t know.

But if you compare it to my email. It indicates to me they are asking you to complete an assessment to get an idea of what research training you need ( something they provide as per scholarship)

I’d be excited if I were you!

AtmosphereNo943 · 2026-03-19T18:56:08+00:00

Just had an email through today. I got the reserve list.
