@Guineacat66 Link to installing a new hub electronic version just use the yes to internet calls to see ALL the connection types, ignore plugging in a phone if you do not have one.

You can just post a picture of what you are trying to do, and attach using the camera icon!

@Guineacat66 

Are you connecting via a white Openreach ONT box on the wall or a traditional telephone socket?

It sounds like you may using a telephone socket in which case you need an RJ11 cable, not an ethernet cable.
