Router went bang with a big flash

‎13-08-2020 11:20 AM

Hi, my Plusnet Hub One went bang with a big flash just before a large lightning strike. It now won’t power up. The adapter works in other devices so that’s ok.
What type of router do I need to replace it?

I’ve tried an old TG582n but that just flashes green I guess because I’m now on fast/Fiber and that’s non VDSL.

Can’t get through to tech support!

@Blimey 

Get a BT Smarthub 6 from an auction site such as Ebay. They are cheap and better that the Plusnet hub. You will find the setting instructions pinned at the top of this board..
