After spending 28+mins discussing my issues with a virgin media agent on the telephone I don't seem to have a solution to my problem.
Over the last few weeks we have been struggling with wifi connectivity and speed. The light on the hub 3 remains red at all times despite resetting and rebooting the device numerous times.
I understand this should be white (and it usually is). The hub is not kept in a cupboard and is well ventilated and does not feel hot . I understand the red light can be a sign of overheating.
As my issues are intermittent despite the constant red light, I wasn't given much help and told that if I wanted a new hub I would have to pay for one. I've had this box probably about 6yrs now I believe. Surely a technician should come out and review the box, but I was told this would not be the case.
Does anyone else have any further help or advice ? I believe they are going to monitor for 24hrs although I don't feel confident from the call this will happen, due to language barriers.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Does look pinkish... you are not using it in modem mode with your own router by any chance? If you were the light turns "magenta".
I have asked VM to come and take a look

Hi John
No not using own router.
Never been this colour before and I do believe there is a fault due to the ongoing issues.
Thank you for your help 😀
