My router is making a near constant chattering/scratching kind of static noise and it is driving me mad.
I've seen other threads on here where people got their router replaced, so what are the chances I can get a new one and it won't have this issue?

Good luck!

Only electro-mechanical components make noise and I'm pretty sure there are none of these inside a router. So if you hear noise I can only think it must be from an electrical component that is failing and what you hear is small sparks. If so, this cannot be safe.

Sorry but this is not correct. There are wound components in routers and unless they are properly vacuum impregnated the coils can vibrate at a resonent frequency that is an audible submultiple of the digital data rate being transmitted. This is irritating but in no way dangerous.

Youcan nearly always use live chat - it's open daily BUT , sometimes it can be hard to find , especially if you're using a tablet like an iPad .
Plus net needs to figure out how to fix this for tablet users . Not everyone uses a desktop machine
On the plus side I managed to contact tech support this evening by phone with no wait . peak time too 6.00pm. Try calling !

Hi there.
It seems some of the Hub Ones are making this noise when a 5GHz connection is in use.
Try splitting the 5GHz and 2.4GHz SSIDs and connecting devices on each frequency to see if the problem is isolated to just the 5GHz connection.

I had a couple of Hub Ones and they both made that sound when 5Ghz was in use. Got my own router in the end and no noises.
