Re: Red internet light

Which router do you have?  According to the booklet that came with my router it can't show a red wi-fi light so you probably have another version.  Anyway, turn off wi-fi on your computer and plug the router into the computer.  Does this get you online?

Re: Red internet light

Hi, thanks for your reply, I don't have a computer to try this, but I have unplugged everything and it's still red.
I've been with plus net for 4 years and not had much trouble until now.

Re: Red internet light

We could do with some more information, as in which router are you using etc.

Have a look through this page - https://www.plus.net/help/broadband/connection-troubleshooting/ - by scrolling down to the 4 sections. Let us know what you've tried and hopefully somebody will help from there.

Re: Red internet light

If the broadband light is on and green, a red internet light usually means the username/password the router is attempting to connect with is wrong.

 

- Open a web browser
- Go to 192.168.1.254
- Log in to the router if prompted (the username and password are printed on the router)
- Go to the broadband or connection settings
- Check the broadband username is YOURUSERNAME@plusdsl.net
- Change the connection password to your password
- Click connect
