Hello everyone just joined to the community after a week of no broadband. I had a issue with my broadband that used reset the smart hub whenever it's raining or wind outside. But had no issues with my landline. So rang BT and they said it's the hub which is faulty but I was not fully convinced as it seems to me that problem is with cable outside my home, anyway they sent me smart hub2. Once I got the new hub it was working fine for 2 days and at midnight rain started and the broadband went down for good just indicating solid orange light. . Had an engineer appointment he checked the line with VDSL tester but he couldn't find that cable is faulty. He said it's the authorisation issue from BT side which he could not fix. Again spoke to BT but they sent another engineer and he also failed. He told the same as first engineer that problem with BT side authentication issue, no physical connection failure. Waiting for BT to get back to me what's going on. Will they be able to solve anytime soon I very much doubt.
Hi @mgylsk, welcome to the community and thanks for posting. I'm sorry to see your broadband isn't working at the moment. Can you post your Home Hub router stats and we'll take a look? You'll get them by entering 192.168.1.254 in your browser, if you have a home hub 5 please go to troubleshooting then helpdesk and if its a Smart Hub go to advanced settings then technical log information.
I'd also recommend you do a quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 it should be silent.

Looks like a faulty smart hub 2, but its worth trying a factory reset first.
Hi @Keith_Beddoe thanks for your advice. Actually this is a new smart hub2 and I did the factory reset as told by BT but nothing happened. In addition I did check my line with another BT hub from my neighbour still the same problem solid orange light.

Then it must be an issue with the cabinet, or possible on the wrong port.
Have you dialled 17070 to make sure you are in fact connected to the right phone number, in case you have a crossed line?
