Replacement Hub 3.0 internet blocked: 'access denied'

My Hub 3.0 hit the solid red light / overheating problem so I've been sent a replacement Hub 3.0 but when I plug it in and log into the admin page it reports that the internet connection is blocked and shows an "Access Denied" message.  The LED on the front shows a solid white light.  

When I plug my old router back in then everything works fine (apart from the red light).

Does the replacement Hub need to be activated by Virgin before it will be recognised?

    Thanks, all sorted once I'd given them the new router's MAC address

    Hello Markrp.

    Thanks for your post.

    We just wanted to check and see if your Hub is now online? Hope the excellent advice given by Client62 helped.

    If we can help with anything else, please let us know.
