HUB 3 not working

Hi all,

my Hub 3 has a solid green power light, solid green Wi-Fi light and the arrows are flashing too. From time to time the power button also flashes, I was wondering if anyone knows what this means as I can’t find the information anywhere

Have you checked first for any “known network faults” that might be causing this?

As well as trying the “check service,”Area status webpage" (link at top right of this forum), also try the “free & automated” Service Status number - 0800 561 0061 - which usually gives the most up to date info. and tells you of more local issues down to postcode level.

You could also try a pinhole reset as this....

Note that a pinhole reset on a Hub3/4 can be a bit problematic - so do it (again) EXACTLY this way (not as the VM website says!).

Firstly, make sure the Hub's sticker/card with the two passwords on it is still there and legible If not – DON’T DO IT !

With the Hub switched "on", disconnect any ethernet connections (leave the co-ax connected) and then push in the “reset pin” with the end of a paperclip/thin nail/SIM tray “tool” or similar (bigger items like ball point pen ends may not press it in far enough) until you feel it at the “stop point” and hold it there firmly for a "timed" minimum of 60 seconds do NOT manually restart the Hub at any time. Leave it 10' or so to stabilise and then your passwords/passphrase for both the Hub settings and the Wifi networks will revert to the two printed on the Hub sticker on its base/side/card. Make sure you use the wifi one for devices connecting to the wifi and the settings/admin one to access the Hub

See if that sorts it.

Hi there @Phardy995

 

Thank you so much for your post and welcome back to our community forums! 

 

I'm so sorry to hear that you have been facing this issue with your Hub! 

 

I have had a look and I cannot see that there are any outages in your area and I cannot see anything that could be causing any issues with your Hub specs. 

 

Are you still facing this issue? If so how are your services effected? 

 

Thank you.
