Connection cable for new Hub4

pross
Joining in

I have received a new Hub4 with 1 gb, the set up instructions show a connecting cable with a red band at one end and black/blue at the other

my existing cable does not have these

my speed is under 0.5 gb 

are these cables incorrect and should i have been given the ones as above

the ethernet cable from the hub to my pc is a cat 6 and the connection glows orange so it should be able to get 1gb

any help ?

Hi pross, 

Thanks for your post and apologies to hear you're having an issue with the Hub 4 since receiving it. 

Taking a look at the account, the Hub is showing a pro-longed signal issue. We won't be able to fix this remotely so I would like to arrange for an engineer to come to take a look at this for you. 


I just need to confirm the address to ensure we are booking the visit on the correct account. I have sent you a private message regarding this. Just click on the little plum envelope at the top right-hand side of the page to access your inbox.

your standard cable should be fine - what you describe is an isolator cable - thats send for those installs that do not have a wall box - just belt and braces

is this a new install or an upgrade - if new

log into hub3/3 - 192.168.0.1 [or 192.168.100.1 if in modem mode] - DON'T SIGN IN, click - click router status [centre of screen] - and post the downstream and upstream figures - to see those press on the grey buttons/boxes labelled - upstream - downstream

if its an upgrade what did you have before and what speeds did you get

Hub 3 and speeds around 450 for an ultimate uumph bundle which was 500gb

I am awaiting wifi pods

I read somewhere that once these are set up the hub will reconfigure to allow 1gb ???

complete rubbish - sorry - nothing to do with pods

so a working good connection - remove hub3 add hub4 and speed drops like a stone

have you activated the new hub - 0800 953 9500 - if you have a solid white ring light you must have

try a reboot and if that does not help a full reset - post some info from the hub

log into hub3/4 - 192.168.0.1 [or 192.168.100.1 if in modem mode] - DON'T SIGN IN, click - click router status [centre of screen] - and post the downstream and upstream figures - to see those press on the grey buttons/boxes labelled - upstream - downstream

as said just type the 192.............. into a browser and the screen will come up for the hub - if its the first time you have done it it will want to check language and [maybe] set new password - sooner or later you will get to screen with password box in the middle - you dont need password - click a=on router status just below password box and all the info is there

copy and paste rather than screen grabs

The technician will confirm during their visit if any of these instances apply, and if so, a £25 charge will be applied to your account.

Please ensure that someone over the age of 18 is at the property for the time the engineer is there.
