Unable to factory reset hub 5

Hi,

My house experienced a power cut yesterday and since the Hub 5 restarted I am no longer able to connect to it via my laptop or firestick, but I can with my mobile. I thought I woud try a factory reset but this function does not appear to have reset the device as I can still login to http://192.168.0.1/ with a password I have created.

Does anyone actually know how to reset the hub to its factory default? I have tried the pinhole method and the web interface method but these appear to have done nothing.

Thanks.

    Thanks for that, got through to someone , they ran some diagnostics but said I need to wait 24 hours.

    Anyway, the log is reporting critical errors so I'm not holding out much hope 24 hours will make a difference.

    You must not follow VM guidelines for a pin-hole reset, they do not work.

    Hold the switch in for 60 seconds and then release. The hub will reboot all by itself, do NOT power off, leave it to initialise.

      I tried that, but my phone was still connected to the wifi the whole time. It's like the reset button is completely ignored.

      This board is not the prime way into support, the telephone is. VM staff members get to posts after 2 or 3 days from the last posted entry, so if you keep bumping a post it goes to the bottom of the queue.

      Hi Leeroy1 👋.

      Thanks for reaching out to us. We would need to run diagnostics on your equipment to assess the issue, for that we need to bring you into a private message.
