Hub 3 Red Light & Heat radiating

[ntree_9]

Hi,

I'm having issues with my Hub 3. There's a continuous red light and heat radiating from it, almost like a radiator. I tried the pin hole reset and left the the router off the whole night but no improvement. I called but they said it's fine. I have been with VM for nearly 10 years and can't get a new router. I was thinking of upgrading to M500 but not with this broken router. Which hub will I get with the M500 package?

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

Any replacement Hub 3 will be a 'refurb' - nobody makes them any more.  So it'll happen again.  So, resist another Hub 3.   M500 gives you a Hub 4 (also no longer made) or a Hub 5.  If you get a Hub 4, remove the CONNECT app if you're currently using it before connecting the Hub 4.  The wretched CONNECT app screws the Hub 4 so that you can neither use the app nor get into the Hub 4 settings.
