Hub 3 issues

[agreene865]

Hello, I have an ageing hub 3 and over the last week it has been playing up. We turn it off at night to save electricity and when we turn it back on it doesn't always boot correctly. Came home this afternoon and now for the 4th time it hasn't booted all day and the app doesn't see it. Rang and was sent the link to reset the hub did so and after an hour finally got it recognised by the app and up and running with occasional drop outs. Is this hub dying? Help please or could someone provide me with the relevant phone number to call and report this issue. Many thanks AJ

Modern electronic equipment is designed to be not turned off. The MTBF increase dramatically if it’s turned off each day. Your hub will not get any updates, impacting its performance, until it is turned on and then they will often fail. If you have TV from VM you will not get programme guide update and if you have a home phone this in the future will depend on the hub being on 24/7.

VM likely went to the trouble of router mode all in one hub so that you don't complain about running a modem and router and yet people still turn it off.
