Connecting Wi-Fi Pod Issue

Hello,

I've read through a bunch of posts about issues with connecting to the wifi pods provided by Bell. I have 4 that the tech provided when I had our internet installed. I read that the serial numbers on the pods need to be registered or recorded by Bell (can't remember if that is the correct wording). The pods don't show up in myBell account, so is that the issue with why they are not showing up or do I need to call in? Was hoping to figure it out without having to call in. Thanks for any tips/tricks/advice!

I don't think they have to show up on Mybell. Could be wrong on that.

Did you try using the Bell WiFi app to add them? How to add pods

Hi, and thanks for your reply.

I did download the wifi app and followed the instructions on how to add pods and none show up in the app.

I remember there was a posting a while ago about someone who purchased the pods from the previous owner and there was something about that not being supported.

So maybe they do somehow have to be tagged to your account. I would like to think the Bell technician would have been able to do so.

Maybe someone who had a pod can provide some more information, but I have not been able to find any information on pod registration with Bell prior to using the pods.

Are they registered and showing up on your mybell profile?

At what point below are you stuck?

  1. Search for Bell Wi-Fi in the app store for your mobile device.
  2. Download and install the app.
  3. Open the Bell Wi-Fi app and log in using your MyBell username and password. Get help logging in to the Bell Wi-Fi app.
  4. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device. The app uses Bluetooth to communicate with the pods during setup.
  5. Plug your pod in a power outlet. If you have more pods, plug them around your home. The empty hexagons indicate how many pods you can plug in.
  6. Keep your mobile device near the pod as you plug it in. The Bell Wi-Fi app will confirm when it's connected.
