installing a 3rd party WIFI router

Hi, I have added a TP-LINK wifi router to my system and switched off my SKY Hub Wi-Fi. Everything is working well, with the Sky Hub handling the internet connection and the TP-LINK handling the Wi-Fi connections.

 

However, I had the idea of having two wifi networks, so I thought I'd reactivate the Sku Hub's wifi. Unfortunately, I don't know how to reset the hub's Wi-Fi. According to the My Sky app, the hub's Wi-Fi is active, but it actually is not. Is there a way to physically reset the hub so that the wifi is reactivated?

If you want to reset the White Sky Max Hub you should press and hold in the WPS button on the side for 30 secs until the led flashes and then release it when the front LED starts flashing green.
