Hub 3 constant red light

Hi - My Hub has had a constant red light for weeks & now no internet connection.

Tried all the usual steps of re-setting, checking connection cables, ensuring hub not over heating but still no internet access. Any advice welcome.

    If the red LED persists after a pinhole reset, the Hub should be swapped out. This red LED is the overheat warning and should be working correctly. If you wait here a couple of days a VM Mod should pick this up and discuss directly with you.    

  • Hi msmsms13, thank you for your post.

    We're sorry to hear about the problem you've been having šŸ˜”

    In the first instance, can you please follow the below steps in the following order:

    ā€¢ Turn the power switch off on the back of the Hub

    ā€¢ Ensure the Hub is upright, in a well-ventilated location, and, if at all possible, out of direct sunlight

    ā€¢ Use the power switch to turn the unit back on

    If after following the above steps the router doesn't boot back up after a few minutes, or the red light returns when it does, it'll need replacing.

    Please pop back to us at your earliest convenience.

    Thank you for your support Adduxi šŸ‘

    Regards,
    Daniel

      Hi Daniel - I have tried the steps suggested in your post but I am still having issues. Sometimes broadband does not work at all & other times it is very very slow & pages time out before loading. Any suggestions?

  • The red light remains on the router, constantly. This is the first time I have been able to respond due to the issues experienced.

  • Hi Martin - problems are getting worse as I have been unable to log into my Virgin media account & not able to log into email even when I am at another location, using a different broadband connection. Is Virgin media online accounts & email servers down? I have been unable to login at any location.
