I’ve also been in contact on the phone but no one seems to be able to give me an answer and tells me it’s being passed to a line manager and that they will contact me the following day.
Any help or ideas would be very much appreciated, thanks

@stephscrivv Welcome to the forums. What speed did you upgrade from/to? What were/are your old/new routers?

Ah - wondered if that was what you had done. I'm no expert on Full Fibre, but my guess is that there is something wrong between you and the Plusnet network. I could be wrong, but the fact the ONT is showing as 'all systems OK', and the Hub won't authenticate points that way.
Other more knowledgeable folk may cast more light on this.

Sounds like yet another provisioning failure by Openreach/ BTWholesale...
Either they haven't completed the order or they haven't 'built' the circuit properly.
Plusnet support should. escalate it to the CAT ( customer assist ) team who should take ownership and get onto OR

No, @stephscrivv , no need for another engineer visit. If, as I suspect, @MisterW is correct, then it is all at OpenReach's end.

I’ve called them again tonight to complain about this and the agent on the phone assured me if it’s just a new router that is required then if I still had my old router that worked just fine before, then plugging that in temporarily will give me access while I wait for my new one.
This still hasn’t worked.
Please could I ask what I need to say to them on the phone to get this resolved as I’m now positive that the new router they tell me will sort it that arrives in yet another 3-5 days won’t work.
Pulling my hair out as my partner works from home and has had to extend his phone data a few times at big expense.

@stephscrivv As has been said above, this is not a Hub problem, but a fault in the OpenReach build of your connection. To be honest, I fail to see why Plusnet can't see this, and why they went to the trouble and expense of an engineer.
A new Hub will definitely not resolve it.

So call them again and tell them the old router doesn't work either , therefore it's not a router problem.
Was it an Openreach engineer or a Qube engineer ?
Edit: having proved it's not a router problem. Diagnosis is simple :-
are authentication attempts hitting the Plusnet network ?
Yes, then it's a Plusnet problem with your account
No, then it's an Openreach build problem
My guess would be the latter
