How to fix Full Fibre broadband problems

See our quick tips to help you sort and fix any Full Fibre broadband problems.

How do I know if I’ve got Full Fibre?

If you’ve got Full Fibre your router will be plugged into an Optical Network Terminal or ONT for short. The ONT is the small box our engineer installed inside your home when we set up your service.

You can also confirm your current broadband package in My Account.

Top tips to sort Full Fibre issues

From connection, speed or WiFi problems. We’ve got you covered.

Issue with your connection?

Try these quick tips and we’ll get you sorted.

Issue with your connection?

Try these troubleshooting steps:

If you think there's an issue with your connection, try switching the hub off and back on again to see if it helps restore service.

Wait five minutes or so after powering it back up and recheck the connection.

If things still aren’t working check what the lights on the front of our hub are doing.

What the hub lights mean

Your hub is connected to your broadband OK

If you can't get online, try switching your device off and on. If it's the first time you've connected your hub, wait a minute or two.

Your hub is working but isn't connected to the Internet

Connect your computer or device to your hub. Open a new web browser window and follow the on-screen steps to get connected. If this doesn't work, use a paper clip to press your hub's factory reset button.

The power is off or the lights have been turned off in the Hub Manager

Check the hub is plugged in, switched on and the lights haven't been turned off in the Hub Manager.

There's a problem somewhere

Use the power button to turn your hub off and on again. If the light doesn't turn blue, use a paper clip to press your hub's factory reset button.

Your hub is starting up

Wait for about three minutes for it to turn blue. If it stays green switch your hub off and on again. If that doesn't work, use a paper clip to press your factory reset button.

Your hub is in Bridge Mode

Your hub has been switched to modem only mode. Full Fibre doesn't support this. You can disable Bridge Mode in the Hub Manager. Or use a paper clip to press your hub's factory reset button.

Your hub is working but the Ethernet cable isn't connected

Check if the Ethernet cable with red ends is plugged in properly. If your ONT's got more than one PORT / LAN port, then try each one. Wait a few minutes each time to see if the light stops flashing.

WPS button - 
flashing blue or red

If it's flashing blue it's waiting for you to press the WPS button on your computer or device.

If it's flashing red, it didn’t connect. Give it a couple of minutes and try again.

You’ll also find this information in the printed set up guide that came with your hub.


Having hub problems? Try a factory reset:

  • Use a paper clip, pen, or something pointed to press in the reset pinhole button on the back of the hub.
  • Keep the button pressed for 20 seconds. The lights on the front of the hub will flash or change colour. After releasing the reset button, the hub will go through a sequence similar to what you would expect if you’d just powered it on.
  • Wait five minutes after powering it back up and recheck the connection.
  • If you've made any previous changes to your settings, they'll need to be made again.
  • Check the power cable is connected to the hub and the power supply.
  • Then check all cables are firmly plugged in. The Ethernet cable with red ends must be plugged into the red WAN port on the Hub and the other end into the Openreach ONT PORT1/LAN1.
  • The Openreach ONT is the white box set up inside your property and allows us to run a fibre connection straight to your home.

 

If you’re still having problems, switch any connected devices off and then on.

  • Switch the hub off and then on.
  • Then switch the Openreach ONT also called Optical Network Terminal, off and then on.
  • Check the lights on the ONT: The light labelled PON should be green.
  • The light labelled LOS should be off.

All looking Good? This should have now fixed the problem.
