Hive Hub won't connect to Internet

[davem641]

We had a Virgin broadband outage for most of Saturday, and since then the Hive hub wont connect to the Internet. We get a constantly flashing green light, which means it's trying to get an Internet connection.

Our internet connection is working though, generally 40mbs - yes it's slow but is quite normal for us.

I tried resetting the hub, via a paperclip, but this didnt make the Hive hub connect.

I have Virgin Hub3 in modem mode, connected to a TP-Link wireless mesh via an ethernet cable. The TP-Link network sees the Hive Hub.

Any ideas what Virgin changed during the broadband outage?

I found the Hub status logs, and here is the network log for today.

Open the Hive app on your smart phone or table, and it should give a message saying hive hub offline, follow the instructions and ask it to reconnect.

This will take several minutes, but should reconnect and work again. I've had this a few times when swapping routers

[davem641]

Thanks but have tried many times. Either the Hive Hub is faulty or Virgin have changed their settings.

Morning @davem641 

Does the Hive connect to the router in router mode?

Best wishes.

A Hub in modem mode offers the least restrictions.

I would be looking at the way the Hive and the TP-Link mesh are functioning. 

[davem641]

I connected the Hive Hub directly to the Virgin Hub3, and still the Hive Hub cant connect to the Internet.

So the TP-Link not the problem

[johndm]

I think your Hive Hub wants setting up again?

[davem641]

I reset the Hive Hub, but still cant connect to the internet

[davem641]

I reset it, but still the same problem
