Hub2 Hybrid Connect Panel

Does anyone know why a Hybrid Connect interface panel appears "Occasionally" in the Hub2 Manager?

Just noticed this today.

As the firmware is a variation of that used by BT I would assume that the firmware is in a screwed up state. Factory reset the hub by pushing a paperclip or similar in to the reset hole. Keep the switch closed until you get a green light then leave it to reconfigure itself.

@raymondlan65

It would be interesting to know what the Hub's current firmware version is

To find the version navigate from Home > Advanced settings >Technical log

Firmware version:v0.10.00.04201-PN Firmware updated:30-Jun-2023 <-- date of last update

I believe 'Hybrid Connect' is 4G broadband failover

It is, but its connected via a LAN port to the Hub. I'm wondering if there's something connected that the Hub 'thinks' is a Hybrid device ?

@raymondlan65 what ethernet devices do you have connected to the Hub 2 ?

Hi @Dan_the_Van

The firmware is v0.10.00.04201-PN the same as you mentioned.

@MisterW There is only a Netgear switch and that connects to another computer. The Hybrid Connect has permanently disappeared now.

Many thanks all

BT's Hybrid Connect uses an ethernet cabled connection for the initial config, but after that, it can link via wifi... kinda like the initial setup for their mesh disks.

Getting off-topic now, but the initial pairing for the BT Hybrid connect can be done via cable or over Wi-Fi using WPS.

Must admit, I've never come across the tile mysteriously appearing on a Plusnet hub 🤨

Many thanks. It has not reappeared. It was just very strange when it did appear.
