No Virgin media socket

Just moved into a new flat today, got my QuickStart box and got everything somewhat plugged in. Issue being I have no virginmedia wall socket, just a VM phone line and then a cable coming in beneath that - which I tried using. My router does now provide internet but the light is always yellow and it says that my hub cannot be found through the app or such.

1) many flats do not have a wall box, just a cable like you

2) as you have a connection most things are ok

3) a yellow LED is not a problem, you get this on a lot of hub3s

4) nearly all things you can do on the app are available if you logon to the hub

5) a VM staff member will get to your post in a couple of days and may be able to help with the app not working.

You've mentioned not having a wallsocket, but then "my router does now provide internet"

I know what I said sounds conflicting, but it is true; I have an internet connection but the hub says it is not connecting and I am unsure if the line connected is a proper VM line? I can see no box outside and am unable to follow the line to any socket

Can you access the hub on 192.168.0.1?
