Router failure, flashing amber

[Jeremy63]

Anyone had issues after a Smart Meter installation. Router hub just flashes amber and is no longer visible to my devices. I've read that engineers who flick the mains switch rather than powering off the router can fry it. How do i go about gettung a replacement hub?

Thanks

Just received the replacement router hub. Process of elimination, it was the power adaptor that was faulty.

I will return the router ASAP. Do you want me to include the faulty power adaptor or shall I bin it. Thank you for your swift attention.

Hi @Jeremy63 

I've ordered the replacement router, please allow 24-48hrs for this to arrive.

Let us know how the connection compares with this router.

Thanks

No phone connected to this line. All worked okay b4 the Smart meter install.

Hi Jeremy,

Thank you. I've run a few tests on the line now just to rule out any potential line faults. One is clear and the other is inconclusive. Can I just ask, do you have a dial tone and is the voice service ok? If it is then I think we should send a replacement router for testing purposes to rule this out.

Thanks

Yes. Power off, reset etc. All tried. Details updated.
