Constantly restarting hub

simoncannings — Sun, 02 Oct 2022 18:31:38 GMT

Hi,

Since last Tuesday my hub has restarted any time anyone tries to use the internet, they get about 1 min before it goes into a restart loop. How do you request a new hub?

It took me 4 times just to post this…

Thanks

You don't need a new hub, you need to find out why it is constantly restarting. The chances are that there is a BT/OR network issue/fault. Is your telephone line quiet?

If it isn't, I would suggest you report a telephone fault via: https://www.plus.net/help/report-a-problem/phone/

If it is, report a broadband fault via: https://www.plus.net/help/report-a-problem/broadband/

Neither of these will be picked up until after 0800 tomorrow.

I disagree, the hub is stable until anything is plugged into a port it connected to via Wi-Fi then it goes into a boot loop, it’s will also loop of just powered and connected to a pc no phone line attached. It very much points to a hub

OK - I don't follow your logic, personally, and don't understand your explanation, but you will be asked to carry out various tests to pin-point the issue - the route(s) I have given you may resolve it.

By the way, how old is the Hub?

@simoncannings

What are the lights on your hub showing when it drops?

It cycles through all the colours a few times before it stops on blue again, but only stays blue (and connects to the internet) for max 5 mins before it does it again

@simoncannings

When you say cycles through the colours, which colours?
If it starts with green it’s probably a faulty hub. If it’s just red, orange and blue it could be a network problem.

Hi Simon,

I've tested your line and the tests are showing a high resistance fault so we'd need to arrange an engineer visit to look at that. When could you be available for a visit? The engineers are available between 8am to 1pm or 1pm to 6pm.

@simoncannings - I can't take a look to try and establish what's going on due to the fact the hub won't stay online. Given you're seeing a green LED though (which is inidcative of a full system restart), and the fact that I can see the hub has recently been factory reset, then I've arranged to ship a replacement to you early next week.

Hope it helps.

Yeah it’s frustrating the amount it’s been down and the length of time, let’s hope the new hub at least gives time to log into it

Hey @simoncannings,

I'm glad to hear that the new hub's arrived - just let us know if there's anything else we might be able to help out with and we'll be more than happy to assist.
