Hub 3 red light on
The red light on my hub stays red all the time despite switching off and on numerous times in the last month. I still have working wifi, phone and Virgin TV. I have factory reset the hub, checked cables etc and hub temperature but still red. When I run diagnostics for the hub it says all OK. I am in router mode. When I do a status check on MyVirginMedia website it usually says unable to connect to your hub. Is there anythingelse I can check?
Dreaded Red Light On Hub. Useless Phone support.
I've had the dreaded constant red light on the Superhub 3 I have had for some years for at least two weeks. It may have been longer. After reading the advice given here I have tried all the possible solutions numerous times - 3 pinhole resets and even leaving the hub unplugged for an hour or so before restarting. Nothing removes the constant red light. I have experienced a couple of episodes of poor internet speeds and a brief outage - as low as 70 mbps on my Volt 500 package - but these have been intermittent. It was actually an episode of low speeds that caused me to notice the red light and read the forum threads on the issue in the first place. These threads have all resulted in the same advice from members and mods that the light indicates a potential overheating fault and the device needs to be replaced. I have spent a frustrating three or four days attempting to get this resolved over the phone, repeatedly being cut off mid-call. I have just ended a long call with a Virgin media telephone CS assistant - the third one I have called today, with the first call being made about four hours ago. They advised me that since their remote diagnostics show no issue with my connection that they cannot replace the hub. Unless the contradictory advice given numerous times on this forum is nonsense this is very alarming. I don't see how Virgin can rule out a potentially dangerous overheating fault simply by conducting remote diagnostics and then provide me with no alternative explanation for the sudden appearance of the constant red light. There must be a reason it has suddenly appeared and if there is any possibility it indicates a potential overheating issue how is this refusal to address the issue or explain why it has occurred supposed to leave me with any peace of mind? I am now faced with the prospect of unplugging my hub at night, or whenever I leave the room for any length of time just to achieve some degree of reassurance. As I explained I have carried out a pinhole reset three time and left the hub unplugged for a long time. There is no issue with ventilation. It has been in the same location for as long as I have had it - as I recall I received a Superhub 3 soon after they were first rolled out. Any advice will be gratefully received!
Hub 3 hot weather no Internet
Hi, during hot weather(25°+) my hub 3.0 led shows a steady red and the internet goes. It only comes back on when the weather/temp cools down. This consistently happened every hot weather day the last few weeks. I've had my hub 3.0 about a decade now but this is my first time with this issue. Service status for my area always shows as good. I check all connections and reset everytime but it only works for a min then it goes again. The only thing that solves it is waiting for the weather to cool🙁. It's been in the same spot with lots of space around it for years without issue until now.Red light on hub
I have a solid red light on my virgin media hub 3 for over 6 months. (The hub is over 8 years old I believe) I’ve also been having issues with my WiFi dropping on a regular basis. I have connected virgin media and I have done a reset of the wifi router recently and have taken out the wires and plugged them in again. They sent me out a new power lead as they said this would resolve the issue, Unfortunately the red light is still coming up as a solid light light and the internet drips out on my devices from time to time.WiFi Pod making a loud noise, flashing red light
Our WiFi pod has started making a loud whirring noise, like a faulty fan in a pc, and has a rapidly flashing red light. WiFi connection around the house has dropped. I have tried ringing about this, but the completely inadequate automated system does not have an option for a faulty pod, and it is impossible to get through to an operator, even though it says early on in the call, that "I'll transfer you to a member of our team". I'm sure if my bill was unpaid, I would be speaking to someone pretty sharpish. Ive just tried using the Virgin Connect app, and it is just as bad as the telephone system. Can a replacement pod or engineer's visit be arranged please?Permanent Red Light HUB 3
My HUB 3 has a permanent red light. I have pin reset it. I have tried turning it off for 15 mins. All this can be seen I guess in the logs. It's positioned in a well ventilated area. It doesn't feel overly warm. I have noticed the service has not been as good last few days. Can it be replaced?Hub 3 - Solid Red Light
Hi - my Hub 3 has had a solid red light for several weeks. Although I've started to experience connection drop-outs and instability over the last few days, I appreciate this may or may not be related. Looking on this forum, the "red light" issue seems quite common and I've tried the recommended initial steps to perform a factory reset and check all wired connections etc, but the light remains solid red. It appears this could be a potential over-heating/fire risk, so I'd appreciate it if someone could get in touch. Many thanks
