Router flashing orange all weekend

[#1]

Router flashing orange. No connection. Contacted Plusnet, told it would be fixed within 24hrs. Restarted. Factory Reset. No joy 😞

[#2]

@ardy45 Which Hub - Hub1? Just flashing orange?

[#3]

Hub 2, I think. Continuously flashing orange.

[#4]

OK - that suggests there is a network problem, which is really in PN's hands. Is it possible to post a picture of your Hubs Help Desk page, just in case we may be able to spot something?

To get there: Navigate from the Home Screen to Advanced Settings > Technical Log > Information

[#5]

Suggested screenshot attached.

[#6]

Thanks for that picture, which confirms you are not connected, for some reason. Probably unrelated,  but I note the username is 'setup@plusdsl.net' - that should be 'yourusername@plusdsl.net' - can you try changing that and see if anything happens?

@bobpullen Just noticed you are around - any ideas?

[#7]

I did attempt to change it to my username, it also requests a password. I tried my account login details but they didn't seem to work

[#8]

Are you sure you are using the exact password associated with your account - it is case sensitive. Also, are there any 'special' characters in it - an alpha-numeric one is preferable?

[#9]

Pretty sure the details were correct. I tried several times.

Do PN technical support actually work over the weekends or am I just being fobbed off?

Thank you for trying to help

[#10]

OK - If as you say earlier you have tried a factory reset of the router, that should have picked up the username/password automatically, so there is something deeper going off, as I suspected, and why I tagged Bob Pullen - he's the tech guru on here.

With due respect to the phone support staff, they are not trained in everything, but should have an understanding of the basics, and will do what they can to help, but it should be noted that, especially at weekends, they are not always aware of everything.

If Bob doesn't pick this up, I would call in Monday morning, or hopefully, one of the Help Team will pick this up.

From the helpdesk report, there is no DSL sync. The factory reset will have reverted the username back to setup@plusdsl.net , since there is no DSL synch it can't connect to the PN servers to reconfigure.

@ardy45 if you haven't already reported a fault then do so

[#12]

@MisterW Didn't think of that, although I should have spotted it - must have my 'weekend' head on.

The OP says he has contacted phone support, and been advised 'it will be sorted in 24 hours' -bit of a 'cop-out' reply?

[#13]

I'll try phoning PN again tomorrow. Thank you for your time.

[#14]

Phoned PN Support this morning. Still the same response, "There appears to be an MSO Fault and will be resolved by 23:05".

What does MSO stand for?

Do I just wait a whole day again?

[#15]

MSO = Major Service Outage (in the BT/OR network) - you will just have to wait until BT/OR sort it.  What is your exchange dialling code?
