Solid Red Light Hub 3

Hi

I have, like many others now got a solid red light on my Hub 3 router.

spoken to tech support who are going to “monitor my connection” however it seems people are being advised on a replacement due to an overheating issue

 

I have tried the standard reset with no change

internet is running fine, except one device (Xbox in summerhouse - wired) which is still running but at 80mb not 250 like other devices

Typical CS waffle to get you off the phone. They can only monitor individual connections when they are speaking to you directly.

This is a safety issue even if it is just the LED indicator that has failed. I have escalated this post to the forum team who should respond here shortly.

I have the exact same issue (permanent red light) except all of my ethernet ports have stopped working. Was also placed under a monitor and after three calls I persuaded them to send a replacement unit. Well that was a week ago and haven't heard anything since so starting to think a replacement hub request was never raised.

Thanks for reaching out to us @Muggy666, and a very warm welcome to you!

Sorry to hear of the solid red light on the hub - this can be determined as the hub overheating and therefore needs to be replaced to ensure that this doesn't become a fire hazard.

Happy to pick this up for you - check out the envelope in the top right hand corner for a private message from me

Thanks
