Hi,

On the Sky white hub, do the lights on the RJ45 ports on the back, flash green / yellow?

On mine there all off, thought I have connection albeit very slow.

Thanks

Hi , there are no lights just the space for them as they took the lights out of the max hub to save on cost

As I've commented elsewhere, LEDs on ethernet ports are a legacy of a time when only network professionals had access to switches and used the lights to diagnose network issues. They aren't relevant to the vast majority of domestic users, and so the temptation is for the manufacturers to omit them to save cost.
