BT Home Hub connection troubleshooting
If your connection is down or you think your Hub is faulty, try these three steps before calling us:
1. Check power and all cables, then switch your computer and devices off and then on.
2. While they’re restarting, press and hold your Hub’s Restart button until your Hub light goes orange.
3. While your Hub reboots, its light will go green, blue, orange – then stay blue when ready. If it’s red, see below.
Make sure you’re next to your Hub with a PC or device if you call.
Think you have a faulty Hub?
Nearly all the Hubs we get back as faulty are actually fine. So if you think yours
isn’t working properly, run through the three steps on the left and check the light
table below.
If you return your Hub and it turns out to be working fine, you might need to pay
for a replacement – so send it back only if you’re sure it’s faulty.
