Re: new customer

Up until a few minutes ago you may not have been able to connect to the internet, however your account is now active and should allow you to connect.

 

Having said this, from what you've said it doesn't sound like an actual broadband connection issue that you're referring to? Are any lights lit up on the router?

Re: new customer

I'm assuming you do see other connections listed, just not the Hub One?

 

Could you try factory resetting the router (Using the pinhole on the back) please.

Re: new customer

Did you hold the button (Factory reset button) for 20 seconds until the light on the front turns green?

Re: new customer

That does seem strange.

 

I've arranged for a replacement router to be sent out and a returns bag for the current one to be sent back to us.

Your broadband did activate today.

I did also advise the following:

We always have to advise 3-5 working days for delivery of our routers, however they are sent out via 1st class post and generally arrive sooner.

I do apologise the router doesn't appear to be working on a wireless connection, however further to replacing the device, I'm sorry to say there's nothing further I can do. If there was, I would have.
