New Hub One won't turn on/work

kkaren — Tue, 27 Mar 2018 18:09:22 GMT

So tomorrow was our switch over day to fibre and sadly we are still without any connection. I received confirmation of the switch over vis email however upon trying to connect our new Hub ONE router, we are unable to access the internet. This time the hub won't even turn on/there is no blue light when turned 'on'. I have tried plugging it in numerous times and have made sure all the leads are in the correct places (and that I have pressed the on switch) however nothing has happened...is my router faulty? Please help!

Many thanks
Karen

Did you mean yesterday?

When you say it won't turn on what do you mean? Are there any lights coming on? If so what colour?

Have you tried a factory reset on the router by pushing a paperclip or similar into the reset hole and keeping the switch closed for at least 20 seconds?

My apologies, I meant to say yesterday.

When 'turned on' there are no lights whatsoever. I will try the paper clip reset tomorrow and see if it works.

Thanks

Karen

Hi Karen,

How did you get on with the factory reset?

Do you have any other routers you could use? The BT HH5 is the same as the PN one, so just needs the username and password put into it.

No good with factory settings reset. Tried another microfilter, used Ethernet cable. Used old router. Nothing works. The system worked slowly but ok until we upgraded to fibre and had new router. What next?

If there's no lights on at all then either there's no power getting to the router or the router (or its power supply) is dead. Can you plug another appliance into the socket that's currently powering the router to make sure that the socket has power getting to it?

If that's OK then go back to Plusnet and ask for another router.

Thank you. The socket is definitely fine and works with other appliances. How do I go about contacting plusnet for a new router to be sent?

If you're lucky this post will be picked up by a Plusnet staffer. Alternatively:

Either ring on 0800 432 0200 and be prepared for a wait or use live chat https://www.plus.net/help/chat/.

Just one afterthought, is the power supply the two part type where you slide the plug pins onto the body? If so is it fully clipped together?

Hi @kkaren

I have just checked your account and can see that your router has been active for about 3 1/2 hrs.

Session Records
Subscription	Access Rack	Last Event	Event Time	Message	IP Assigned	Total Gigabytes	Calling From	Session Started	Session Ended	Session Duration
Plusnet FTTC RSN	(PTA)	active	15:54 30/Mar/2018	unknown (Interim update)	146.199.21X.XXX	1.29		12:35 30/Mar/2018	N/A	3:27:48 (on going)

Can I ask (out of curiosity) what you did to get this working in the end?

Kind Regards,

We bought another router which arrived very quickly, from Amazon. The original router supplied was obviously faulty. Very happy with the result, very quick , a better Easter with Internet . Thank you everyone who gave advice, Happy Easter Karen

@MasterOfReality I suggest it is not a good idea to show a user's IP address and phone line BBEU number in a public forum.

I would contact Plusnet and ask for a replacement for the faulty one at no cost to yourself. It's always useful to have a spare.

Really concerned about id fraud. Should all of the numbers be changed?
