That's a good point, if they don't have another hub for me on the day, I will check I can logon before they leave.
Yes, I've been following your Hub4 login issues, something so fundamental ends up a nightmare! I wasn't aware of the local optical link being installed, might be a region specific. Mind you, in our case, the cable into the house was installed over 20 years ago so I assume they will just connect the router to that.
One thing that has crossed my mind, probably a stupid idea though, have you tried switching off the Hub4, disconnecting the Coax cable at the back of it and switching the hub back on. I wonder then, if it will allow you to change settings before re-connecting the coax. Just a thought.
