I have tried rebooting twice and still I have a red light.
I believe I need a new modem but can’t get in contact with anyone to get it sorted.

Hi I have tried rebooting nothing changed .
I am not sure what modem mode means I don’t think I have changed anything since it was installed so I suppose it is just a router
i still have a red light and not sure what should happen now

What model of hub do you have (if you can't tell, there's a number on the base starting VMDG or VMB or the like), and are you using the hub in modem mode with your own router?

Hi Tlarkin1,
I'm very sorry to hear you're having some issues with your Hub displaying a red light. Just to double check, is the Hub currently in modem mode? If so then the light will be a magenta colour but can look quite red. This is perfectly normal. If it's not then please follow the below steps:
If the issue remains, pop back here and let us know. We can then either arrange a replacement or an engineer to visit to swap out the Hub.
Thanks,

If you have power cycled the Hub and the red light is still on, VM should replace the Hub. The red light is an overheating warning. If the Hub is overheating, it should not be used, as it is a fire risk. I would press VM for a replacement as soon as possible.
