Router problem.

[#1]

I've just had a replacement router and It's connection to my windows 7 computer has a problem.  I have to type in the wi-fi pass word each time I switch on and also the WPS led is continually flashing.

Which model Plusnet router are you using?  Hub Zero or Hub One

Do you have same issue with other wireless devices?

Hi @erikroberts,

I am sorry to hear about this and the issues that you are having.

Can you please perform a factory reset on your router please as this may help with your issue. To perform this please follow the instructions here from this link https://www.plus.net/help/broadband/router-user-guides/

If this fails with the connection of your router to your laptop then I would consider updating your software to a newer version of operating system.

That has to be the most unhelpful suggestion I have read recently

It is totally out of order when a new PC with Windows 7 preinstalled can be still be bought today.

totally agree ! a new version of windows will not cure a Router problem .

Do you have access to another router , to rule out that the replacement is not duff ?

Hello everyone. I decided to switch the router off and leave it off over night. I then switched it on again the next day and Hey, it worked fine. No more flashing WPS and no longer having to type in password.

Bet your happy you dont have to pay £70 - £80 on a new OS as suggested
