Hello, I’d be really grateful for some help please.
we just got virgin broadband installed, with the cable coming in through our bedroom wall and connecting to the hub in the bedroom. Everything works fine.
The engineer left us a much longer cable so I could put the hub in a different room, but when I connect from the wall box to the hub using this longer cable I get a message on the hub settings saying registration failure and a red light on the hub. Sometimes it says no rf signal detected instead.
when I connect with the shorter cable it works fine again
Thank you

Have a look inside the connectors on the long cable to make sure there aren't any scraps of metal in it. Otherwise the longer cable may be faulty

Thanks that’s really helpful
do you know if there’s a quicker way than phoning to get a replacement long cable? I’m guessing since I asked for it and the engineer specifically left it for me to use, it should be covered as part of the original installation, and no extra fee?
Or would it be easier to just buy a replacement cable myself? Is it just standard cable like in b and q?
Thanks again
