Hi
hope somebody can help please.
I have tried to reboot, etc but the red light on Router bene there for a few days and some of the house items like mobiles, streaming Tv etc don't connect, others OK?
The Hub is in the same place been for years, not hot nor is the room and I have given it space too.
I am really worried as read after trying all things it should be replaced, I don't know what else to do now but patchy working cant be right?
Please can anybody help or have ideas
Thanks so much

Login in to the Hub 3 menu at http://192.168.0.1/
use the numeric HUB PASSWORD from the bottom side label. ( this is not the Wi-Fi password )
Run the Network diagnostic tool
Scroll down through the results and find the Temperature entry. Is it Normal ?

From the Hub 3 menu, run the "Network diagnostic tool". Is the Temperature Normal ?

Woa ... take a stiff drink and relax.
My Hub 3 reports the same nonsense about Wi-Fi devices it is in the business of selling VM's ghastly Pods.

The red light on the hub is an overheat warning. Even if this is a false warning, it could hide a real issue which is a fire risk. Therefore company policy is to replace the hub. I will escalate this thread to the staff team so that they can get your details & arrange a replacement.

Thanks everybody for your help.
I now have a new Hub fitted by the engineer, back on the net and no red light. Hopefully all well again
So pleased, thanks again
