Replaced faulty Hub 2 with new HUB 3 bjut this, from square one, shows permanent RED light at base indicating overheat? Performed all diagnostics from the Virgin site including factory reset but with no change

Do I require a replacement HUB if only for safety reassurance?

Is the Hub actually working?

It isn't in "modem mode" by any chance is it? In MM the base light is Magenta - a purpley/red. If normal mode it should indeed be white (sometimes the old LED gets a tinge yellowish/pinkish)

I will ask VM to come and look here - in the meantime do switch it off when you are out or in bed
