Red light on router

We have been having problems with our wifi disconnecting intermittently for the last couple of months. The router has a solid red light instead of a white one which it always used to have. Our devices disconnect from wifi several times a day even when in the same room as the router. The Router does not feel hot to touch and is on an open shelf with plenty of room for ventilation. I have re- started the router many times and also carried out the pinhole reset on 3 occasions but the light always comes on red and the wifi disconnect is still occurs daily.

Reading other posts on here I guess we need a new router, the one we have is a number of years old. Please could somebody arrange for this to happen.

If the Hub 3 red LED persists after a pinhole reset, the Hub should be swapped out. This red LED is the overheat warning and should be working correctly. If you wait here a couple of days a VM Mod should pick this up and discuss directly with you.
