REMEMBER: still do your AER and/or PROBING QUESTIONS before you continue your conversation So, I'm going to ask you few questions regarding your usage of your broadband Landline Q1: Is your phone completely dead, or do you hear a strange sound like static or a fast busy tone?
Q2: Can you plug a different working phone directly into the wall socket to test it?
Broadband Q1: Are the status lights in your modem normal, or one of them is blinking or turned off?
Q2: Are you using a Wi-Fi connection, or is your device directly plugged into the router with a LAN cable?
I'll be needing you to go near your router and tell me the color status light in your hub.
TV Q1: Do you see an error message on the screen, or is it just a black screen or a "No signal" warning?
Q2: Is the issue happening with every TV in your house, or only on one set?
CHECK YOUR KIT= first make sure that all the cables are properly connected to your hub. RESTART YOUR HUB = Try restarting your hub and the device you're using. If you're on a wired connection, unplug the Ethernet cable that connects your device and Hub first. RESET YOUR HUB = Using a paper clip or a pen, press that pinhole marked "Reset" on the back of your Hub for 20 seconds. This will restore the Hub to its default settings, which you'll find on the information panel on the bottom. Then, switch off the Hub for a minute before turning it on again. When it's back on, you'll have to reconnect your devices to the W-fi network using the default password.
What does a solid red light on the Hub 5 mean?
This might mean that there’s an issue with the cable connections or that the Hub is too hot.
Try these steps to fix things:
Switch the Hub’s power supply off at the wall
Make sure the Hub is placed out in the open with its vents uncovered, upright, and away from heat sources
Make sure all cables coming into and out of the Hub aren’t damaged and are pushed in firmly
Leave the Hub for 15 minutes to cool down
Finally, switch the Hub back on again and let it start up for 5-10 minutes
When it’s finished starting up, you’ll see the power light turn from flashing white to solid white.
If the Hub is still showing a red light after that, and isn’t warm to the touch, try resetting the Hub to restore it back to its factory settings. To do this just press the Hub’s pinhole factory reset button for 10 seconds with the tip of a pen and leave it for 5-10 minutes to start up. You should see a solid white power light once it’s up and running.
*****What does a solid white light on the Hub 5 mean? If you see this it means everything is okay. This is what you’ll see when the Hub’s working normally.
*****What does a flashing white light on the Hub 5 mean? This means the Hub is booting up. Wait at least 5 minutes for it to finish.
In the meantime, check that all the cables coming into and out of the Hub are pushed in firmly.
*****What does a flashing red light on the Hub 5 mean? This might that the Hub has finished starting up, but hasn’t been able to register on the Virgin Media network.
The best thing to do is to reboot the Hub:
Switch the Hub’s power supply off at the wall
Make sure all cables coming into and out of the Hub aren’t damaged and are pushed in firmly
Switch the power back on again and let the Hub start up for 5-10 minutes
When it’s finished starting up, you’ll see the power light turn from flashing white to solid white.
If the Hub is still showing a red flashing light after that, try resetting the Hub to restore it back to its factory settings. To do this just press the Hub’s pinhole factory reset button for 10 seconds with the tip of a pen and leave it for 5-10 minutes to start up. You should see a solid white power light once it’s up and running.
*****What does a solid green light on the Hub 5 mean? This means the Hub is in modem mode and won’t be sharing Wi-Fi. If you’ve put the Hub into modem mode yourself, you’ll probably be using your own router alongside the Hub.
You can take the Hub back out of modem mode manually, or you can do it by resetting the Hub – just press the pinhole factory reset button for 10 seconds with the tip of a pen and leave it for 5–10 minutes to start up. When it’s finished, you’ll see the light turn white.
*****What does a flashing green light on the Hub 5 mean? If the Hub flashes green slowly, it means, it’s downloading a software update. The Hub will take a few minutes to reboot once it’s finished downloading it.
*****What does a solid blue light on the Hub 5 mean? When you push the WPS button on the back of the Hub the light will flash blue slowly for 2 minutes. Then once a WPS connection is successful the light will turn solid blue for 20 seconds.
If it flashes blue rapidly it means the WPS connection was unsuccessful, and you should try again.
*****What does a flashing blue light on the Hub 5 mean? When you push the WPS button on the back of the Hub the light will flash blue slowly for 2 minutes. Then once a WPS connection is successful the light will turn solid blue for 20 seconds.
If it flashes blue rapidly it means the WPS connection was unsuccessful, and you should try again.
*****What does it mean when there’s no light on the Hub 5? This means the Hub is off.
Make sure that the Hub’s power supply is firmly connected to the wall and back of the Hub, the socket at the wall is switched on, and that the Hub’s power button is switched to the ‘on’ position.
Once the power is on it can take 5–10 minutes for the Hub to start up. When it’s finished you’ll see the light turn white.
