Hub5 DHCP issues
Morning, had an issue with my Hub5 over the last couple of days. It started off with having no internet access on any device. I use the Hub5 as a modem/router with the Wi-Fi disabled and my own unmanaged switch and access points.
First port of call was back to basics, so i tried the following,
Rebooted hub
Turned off all other equipment and setup a wired connection from one PC to the hub
tried all ethernet ports on the hub5 and swapped to a different pc to rule out any issues
I then setup the PC on a static IP and pointed the gateway to the routers IP and that gave me internet access and let me log into the hub's web interface.
I've tried to factory reset the hub using the reset button but it doesn't seem to work (I've read the guides, watched the videos, tried 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds etc) - The button presses fine but the hub continues to function and stay connected.
I've tried to set the hub into modem only mode but it wont save this configuration, it reboots and is back in router mode.
I've tried disabling DHCP and re enabling it but I'm not convinced its saving, it shows as saved but if i switch the hub off and back on again, the config page shows it as still enabled
Under the DHCP page any devices show as having a lease time of 0, and i cant ping them at the IP address it shows.
The hubs info page shows the following info for HW/SW: Hardware version: 1.1 Software version: LG RDK 7.6.20-2306.5
Id appreciate any tips or tricks to try and restore it back to a functioning state (its worked flawlessly for 5 years) - its a few years since I've had to call VM tech support but it wasn't a nice experience last time, I've had a good search for this fault on here and can find similar issues but not with the failure to factory reset issue at the same time, my gut is telling me the hub probably needs replaced or a software update that its failing to pull through.
Thanks
