Try a 60 second factory pinhole reset as below;
Remove any ethernet cables from the Hub and hold the pinhole reset switch for 60 seconds. Do NOT reboot the Hub, just let it do it's thing. Note you will need the passwords from the bottom of the Hub afterwards, so make sure they are legible.

However there are posts here where users have had to wait several days for the firmware to update properly on the Hub 5.

At the risk of sounding cretin are you suggesting that I leave hub just flashing green lights for 3 days before doing hard reset as may take that long to sort itself out ? The strange thing is everybody still appears to able to connect to net while flashing green error messages include : no ranging response recieved SYNC timing failure failure to acquire QAM/QSPK symbol DHCP warning !

I have just seen a thread where after the pinhole reset the firmnware was updated and it all worked normally.

Hi @scottyb1 really sorry that your Hub is failing with its update.

Can you please confirm if you're still having issues with this or has it now been resolved?

Many thanks
