Re: Max hub

@Sytixstylez When your Max router is plugged in, does it eventually display a solid, unblinking white light on the front?

 

If so then your connection to the local exchange should be good. In which case, on a smartphone with a mobile data connection, install and open the MySky app. On the Home tab at the bottom, there will be a box called 'Check your service'. Open that.

 

The app will then cause Sky's systems to query your internet conenction, your Max router and WiFi along with any Sky TV boxes attached to it. It should tell you where the problem lies.

 

Do let us know what the app has to say.

Try running the MySky 'check your service' then - it should tell you whether the issue lies between your router and the local exchange or whether there is a broader outage in your areal.

Re: Max hub

Doesn't explain the constant solid amber light even holder the wps button in to try reset hub but that doesn't do anything it's like the box isn't functioning and froze. Even after unplugging it still does the same thing

@Sytixstylez 

Assuming that you have the white SR213 Hub, it takes a while for a reset through the WPS button. You may need to hold it for upwards of 20s until the LEDs flash.

@Sytixstylezdid you press the wps button on side for at least 30 seconds after which the hub should flash and reset wait a minute then switch off and back on ?

 

If you've already done this then I think you'll need to call Sky.
