I'm now on a 2nd replacement router, initially worked OK sort of, only flashed orange 50% of the time.
Multiple calls to Plusnet, several BT visits later, still no-one can fix it.
From my experience Plusnet is just a shabby network.
I've been promised a refund, nothing came of that, basically Plusnet are in breach of contract as they claim a minimum guaranteed speed, speed supplied falls well below this figure 24/7, even the odd time the flashing orange goes to Blue for a connection, it can barely run 1 TV, add a phone or 2nd TV into the mix & OMG!!! instant flashing Orange with no promise it'll ever work again for several hrs or in this wks case 3 days.
Contract's up end of July 2023, never again would I give Plusnet the time of day, they take £26 p/mth & give nothing in return, they've even got the cheek to hike up the price every year.
A complaint to OFCOM is my next action.
These charlatans can't be allowed to rinse people every month & get away with it.

" tried accessing router setting online (no chance) that refuses to work too, is it because I'm using mobile data on my phone?"
Yes - the IP address of the router, 192.168.1.254, is an internal address only accessable from a device connected to your home network, either by ethernet cable or WiFi. Every Plusnet customer, (and many other ISPs), using a Plusnet SmartHub2 etc will have the same internal network IP address.
It might be possible, (I don't know), to access from outside your network, ie using mobile data, but you would probably need to know your current "Broadband IP Address", (external), to do that?
