Everything was ok last night, nothing has changed within the house, yet this morning our connection was down, and now the router simply flashes orange...flashes green...flashes orange...etc!
Any service outages reported at the Plusnet end of things?

Hi,
To be honest with you I suspect this is a problem with the router the green light indicates the router has rebooted which is not normal for it to do on its own.
I would contact Plusnet here and request a replacement

Have a ticket in writing for a response. Hope it isn't a long term problem. 😕

This morning my router seems to have reset itself and the ssid name back to default, and now it won't boot at all, keeps going green then orange then blue for a moment before rebooting. Was there a firmware update last night or something?

Hi,
Just wondering if any of you have a Chromecast Audio device attached to your router? There is a known issue which Google and BT/Plusnet are working on which causes the One Hub to reboot when the Chromecast attaches to the router. Seems like Google are pointing the finger at BT and Plusnet.

perfect, exactly that. It appears that the firmware on the chromecast that was in preview causing a problem went live this morning. Unplugged and router stopped cycling.

Good spot guys, looks like there was indeed a Chromecast update released yesterday.
Can I ask, is this isolated to Chromecast Audio devices, or does it affect other units too?
What firmware variant of the Hub One is everybody using? (you'll see this under 'Software version' in the footer of the GUI when logged into the router settings).

@bobpullen, This thread https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/Google-home-setup-issues/m-p/1387868/highlight/false#M1916 seems to imply that it might be affecting the Google Home devices as well

Thanks.
I actually have a Chromecast Audio on my network at home and am also subscribed to beta updates. Sadly I'm not using a Hub One, else I might have noticed the issue myself before now
We'll see what we can determine with a spot of testing. We'll also try and get hold of somebody in BT Consumer to see if there is indeed an open support case with Google like some of the external threads allude to (I'm not aware of anything here at Plusnet).
Interested to know whether or not anybody finds a workaround (although reading other reports I'm guessing there isn't one).
Also interested to know whether or not the reboots are factory resetting the device e.g. restoring the SSID/username etc. to default values?

Brilliant - turning off the Chromecasts was also the fix for me. Thanks!
(Now to work out whether I can plug them back in...)

It seems to cause random reboots and I have had it reset completely (SSID defaulted) and just cycled around not sure if that helps at all.
