Our Hub 3.0 is bust. Wired connection works fine. WiFi is knackered. Have tried factory reset and switching it off and on, it just keeps switching in and out, and stating that password is incorrect. Think it might have overheated badly.
Technical support isn’t helpful. As tests aren’t showing a problem, but there is clearly is one. And it’s impossible to get through to a human being to ask for another one to be sent out.
Any ideas on how to facilitate the sending of a new hub?
Thanks.

With current shortages I believe that at the moment you will have to have tech visit to verify its borked and to fit a replacement.
You need to persist on the phone, or wait here for a day or two for a VM person to help.
Or, as wired connections are fine, you could bite the bullet and bung it into modem mode with your own better quality router and wireless equipment. That will continue to work for you whatever Hub VM supply you with in the future

Ah yes. Of course. I completely forgot about the current global shortage of electrical components and boards. What a pain.
Yeah. Reasonable suggestion. I just don’t want to have to shell out for a separate wireless hub to get the service I pay for.
Pretty sure it’s borked (great phrase btw). Did get through to a human in tech support, who tinkered with it and it worked for about 10 mins. Now it’s down again. Reet pain.

Yup VM think if Docsis link is up your hub is fine they can't test wifi or Ethernet which can be the problem.
It will be easier to get your own router.

Hello @hazbaz,
Welcome to the community page, thank you for posting on here.
I am sorry to see that your Hub has burnt out.
I can arrange for a tech to visit your home and replace this, but I will need to bring you into a private message first.
Please look out for a plum envelope at the top right of your page.
Many thanks,
