My router appears faulty - how do I request a new one?

I do not have an internet connection. My router has shown a solid amber light since Wed 28 June. 

I also cannot locate the router on any of my WiFi devices. 
Meaning, it’s not that I can’t load page but I’m connecting, my router does not appear in the list. 

talktalk have run various line tests, checks etc over the past 7 days. They said their is a connection and it’s true my phone line has been working throughout and I’ve got a dial tone. 

and engineer came to confirm that it wasn’t an internal fault. 
couple of hassle calls to talktalk later, I managed to get an Openreach guy to visit. 
he confirmed speed and connection through master socket. He said the router is faulty, although it has power. 

im not sure what to do now. Talktalk technical team keep running line checks but that’s not going to reveal anything if the router is not working. 
I am reluctant to go and buy one so where does that leave me to test it. 


also it’s been out for 8 days and my phone data is gone. So now I’m alittle frustrated. 

thanks

Claire

Hi Claire

 

I'm sorry to hear this.

 

I have ordered you a replacement router, please allow 24-48hrs for this to arrive.

 

Let us know how the connection compares with this router.

 

Thanks

Hey @Gliwmaeden2,

 

Sorry, I tried to tag this post Broadband but I was getting an error.

The staff have run multiple tests the live is perfect and Openreach agreed line is good. 

Talk Talk just keep line checking and I can't progress to get a router check or swap out. 

 

Also, my profile is up to date, I just don't like any of the avatar pictures but all my name/contact details were input last week, interests and signature. What else is there?

Thanks
