Hub 5 Ethernet connection issues

ChaLky2
Tuning in

Just set up the new Hub 5 and I am now unable to connect my pc/xbox via Ethernet connection. The connection will last between 10 seconds to 2 minutes and will disconnect/reconnect. I have also noticed my computer each time will create a new network.

For example, network 1, network 2, network 3...

Wifi seems to be unaffected. 

Anyone have any ideas?

In regards to your Router being in Router or Modem mode it would only change if you purchased your own 3rd part Router and used ours as a Modem, when this is the case you would have physically changed this yourself and the light on the Router would be red.

try a reset first
______________

Do a Hub “pinhole reset” - first make sure the 2 passwords on the Hub sticker are still there and legible first ! Disconnect any ethernet cables from the Hub (leave the coax connected), and then with the Hub still "switched on" throughout, press pin in firmly with paper clip/SIM tray tool or similar "thin thing" and hold it firmly for at least 60 (a timed sixty) seconds, release the pin, leave for 5’ to stabilise - dont manually switch it off at any time. Passwords and SSID’s will reset to those on the sticker. See if that sorts it.

Hi 

Sorry I'm not very good with these kind of things. How would I know if its either in router mode or modem? 

Yes tried other cables but no good. Only things connected to the box is the TV Virign box and power line connector (TP Link). as my computer is upstairs. but through that its just my xbox and computer.
