Hello,
I'm hoping I can get some help on this matter. I have a solid red light on my superhub which has persisted over several weeks. This is joined by incredibly poor performance over 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz WiFi, and I believe a new superhub is needed.
The unit is not overheating.
I called support, went through all of the respective actions, and had to 'wait and see'. Unfortunately the issue has persisted over the last few weeks.
As a last ditch effort, I turned the hub off for 10 hours last night to see if that would change anything this morning. Unfortunately it did not.
Does anyone know how I can resolve this issue without having to buy another router?
Many thanks

Firstly, your VM equipment is rented. If it is not working correctly (which it isn’t) VM will replace it free of charge as per your contract. You have rebooted & done a “cold start”, which has not resolved it. The false overheat warning could mask a real issue that could be a fire risk, plus there has been a drop in performance, so you require a tech visit to replace it.
I have escalated this thread as a potential safety issue, so you should get a response here from the forum team soon. They will utilise the private messaging system to confirm your details & get this under way.

Hey @PJ789,
Sorry to hear you are having this issue with your Hub, what I would like to do is go about sending out a replacement Hub for you, I will need to confirm some details with you in a quick private message, if you have not used this feature before you can access it via the envelope at the top or your screen.
