Perfect solution to improve your Wi-Fi

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 3, 2021

I’m probably tempting fate with this review but having had this now for two months I am seriously impressed, it has made a massive difference since I bought it given the increased demands on our broadband. We have Virgin Media broadband and while speed has always been good we have struggled with the Wi-Fi reach and stability of the SuperHub for months. While VM do offer a solution with their Wi-Fi pods they are regularly out of stock so I took matters into my own hands and bought these instead of wait much longer.

Installation is easy and just needs the download of the app to start you off. There’s a video review elsewhere on this page I found very helpful and can recommend, so won’t go into it here. Note to VM people - there’s no need to turn your Superhub into modem only mode, the first disc just plugs into a spare Ethernet port.

Stability has so far been excellent. Seemingly no contention despite very large simultaneous demands in our household and only one drop out in 2 months and easily rectified by the old switch off/on solution.

Speed is also excellent. We have a 500Mb connection into the house. In the same room as the first disc we still see that speed and can easily achieve 200-300Mb anywhere else in the house, even in the dead spot areas where previously we could get barely anything at all. That’s a massive improvement.

The app is useful too as you can control access at a device level, including grouping devices and setting regular access times (really useful if you have kids), as well as creating guest networks and managing individual discs features.

Really have nothing bad to say about this. Highly recommended.

Doddle to setup, powerful Wi-Fi throughout the house!

So, so pleased with the 3-unit Whole Home pack! Absolute doddle to install and setup, simply download the BT Whole Home app for your phone, just follow the instructions, step-by-step, really easy to do and it all worked out of the box. Because I prefer my own complex passwords and SSID names, I wanted to change. No problems - once the network is setup, simply of into the app and set your new SSID (Wi-Fi network name that is broadcast) and password, the App and Mesh units take care of the rest , they auto-configure in a matter of seconds. Available bandwidth in the house has increased massively, compared to just the Draytek router Wi-Fi; I simply turned off the Wi-Fi in the router and connected the first Mesh unit. The rest was done in under 10 minutes, whole house covered with lovely, luscious Wi-Fi! I'm an IT Professional and I wish all Mesh networks were this easy to configure. Using this gear for my office building upgrade in August.

We live in an old house in Italy which is spread across two floors with walls ranging between two and three feet thick. Needless to say convenrional wifi provided by a typical router quickly runs out of steam in these circumstances. After trying a number of extenders we installed a set of three BT Whole Home Wifii disks and covered the whole of the ground floor successfully, though asking it to also cover the upper floor was a push too far. A further purchase of another set of three disks, all linked to a single network, provided ample coverage across the whole house. We can now watch three 4K UHD movies streaming at the same time with no buffering whatsoever. We have had to reboot the network once after a power cut, but that is the only time, and we have had no need to contact the BT Support team either to install the disks or reboot the system using the app. Highly recommended

Finally stable WiFi throughout the house

I purchased these to replace my existing WiFi and extenders, which with multiple hotpots, caused issues when switching on some of our devices. Signal was also not consistent.

These new by WiFi whole home disks (3 of them) have fixed everything. I know have full WiFi coverage at 5 bars, in every room if the house. Took 15 minutes to setup the disks. The app is really helpful at going through the disk setup and positioning process.

Too make life easier, once the disks were all setup and working, I disabled the WiFi on my BT home hub, and then changed the Whole Home WiFi sid and password to match the home hub. That way all the devices automatically reconnected to the new kit.

3 days in, very impressed!

Easy to set up, rock solid so far.

We had flaky wifi from the ISP supplied hub so decided to try the mesh route. The bt discs were well reviewed so I bought them. Easy to set up, discs are slightly bigger than I thought they would be but they look fine. We have 2 discs downstairs and one upstairs - wifi signal is solid everywhere and we seem to get pretty much the same speed in every room of the house. Devices connect automatically to whichever disc offers the best signal and you never notice.

No parental control as such, you can block devices but no website filtering etc.

3 years on, still going strong

I bought these when we lived in a 3 story 1930s house with the Virgin Hub on the ground floor, and we were struggling with poor single at the top. Signal was always solid across the house after setting the system up, and it was super easy to move them to a new home, just connect to the new router via RJ45 and away you go.

Fixed my WiFi issues!

I had terribly patchy WiFi until getting this, it has changed everything and incredibly easy to set up. This was recommended to me by the head of IT at work while he was on a call with me and my video scrambled. Not cheap but money well spent!

So easy to use

Solved my Wi-Fi coldspot issues in a few minutes. I was going to get a cheaper alternative. Maybe they're fine, or even better - I don't know - but this was so easy to set up and so far has worked perfectly. The app gives you good advice on where to position the discs in your house, which was a real help. Yes, this cost a lot but I've now got two kids who can use their iPads in trout bedrooms again and I can do Teams calls without needing to burn through my 4G allocation.

Stable Wi-Fi FINALLY !!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 22, 2021

Had years of unstable Wi-Fi and after some recent research bought the BT whole home Wi-Fi kit which isn’t the cheapest but it DOES work. If my Wi-Fi with several different providers is flaky then it’s a waste of money and frustrating so this was a good investment. Works with all the main broadband providers so a good purchase. Haven’t commented on tech support as didn’t need it, set up out the box in about 10 minutes.

Easy to set up for whole home coverage

Had previously been using range extenders but had to keep switching between them when moving rooms. This works seamlessly. Pretty easy to set up although seemed impossible to find positions that the setup assistant was happy with, even though they work well.
