Hub 4 hot

[virkon]

Hi all, I've had a hub 4 for 3 days can I ask, is it meant to be this hot? My hub 3 was nothing like this. I can't hear a fan.

Thanks for any input, 

Regards,

The Hub 4 is the only VM Hub with a fan, and as such can get "clogged" with dust, depending on the environment. It may help if the Hub is powered off and the dust blown out with a can of compressed air.  This may improve the airflow.  However if the fan is not working at all, then the Hub should be replaced.

Your link brings up 'invalid perimeter'

Clogged with dust after 3days?

[Adduxi]

VM recycle Hubs as they are all rented by users.  It is quite possible there is an accumulation of dust from a previous user.  Obviously if it is a brand new unit, then yes, there would be no dust, and could be a faulty fan.  As noted before, this is the only Hub with a fan and as such it can get dusty.  All the other Hubs are fanless, so do not exhibit this problem.

"Invalid parameters" I should have said

Thanks for reaching out to us @virkon, and welcome back to our Community Forums!

Sorry to hear of the hot Hub 4 you have been using.

Can you please confirm if you have attempted to switch the hub off and dusted it down?

Do you have a solid red light appearing on the hub at all?

Thanks,

Hi no and no. I discovered the network diagnosis in the settings and it says it is normal temperature even though I think it's way too hot. 

Also I read somewhere that some users were complaining that the fan is very noisy, but I'm not getting that mine is totally silent.

Hi Virkon 👋

Thanks for getting back to us! Sorry to hear the temperature of the hub is still a concern. 

It looks like your hub is currently operating in modem mode. Can we just check that the hub is well ventilated, and out in the open?

We don't want any safety concerns as a result of the temperature of your hub so I will also send you a PM to confirm a few details and offer further support. You can find the PM in the top right corner of the page in your Inbox. 📩 We can then return to this public thread with another update when possible. 

Thanks for your patience in the meantime! 🌞
