@Nic91

The alarm light suggests the battery backup unit on this older ont isn't charging. Openreach don't use these ont's any more so best request a new one

We only had Sky installed earlier this year so I expect the kit to be new, how do I order a new one?

Was the ont itself already in situ?

@Nic91

The image posted is a more recent model without a battery back up unit. So it has a different meaning

Possibly a failed firmware update.

@Chrisee I still haven't been contacted by Sky. We still have the issue, I've used the help function on the app to test the signal and it says there isn't an issue buf there is because the alarm light is red on the ONT and we cant connect to wifi.
