Hi, There was a lightning storm earlier today, and it's put my broadband out. The landline is working fine. I have a Plusnet Hub One. It's an ASDL connection. I have FIbre-To-The-Cabinet, and then copper to the home. The router starts up solid green, then flashing green, then solid blue for about ten seconds, then a more intense blue for about five seconds, then flashing orange, then settles on solid orange with a flashing red 'b'. I spoke to Plusnet and their tests showed things working fine on the line, and they are sending out a new router, thinking the lightning frazzled something in the Hub One. Something does smell like it might be burnt. Hopefully, that will be it. However, I am trying to get ahead of that not fixing it, just in case. I have tried using a few different old routers, of mine (BT) and a neighbour's (BT, Plusnet, Sky), and none are able to connect to broadband. Is this to be expected, or could it indicate a problem somewhere else? I only have a single, master socket. I've plugged things into the 'test' bit, still to no avail. Is there anything else I can try? Or, if it turns out the new router isn't enough, any idea where the problem might be? Thanks!
