Re: Sudden Solid Orange Light
Hi we have woke up on Christmas morning and the bt hub has a solid orange light, there has been no issue recently. What a way to wake up on Christmas morning. Trying to get someone to fix this is a nightmare as it is Christmas. Please someone help sort this issue, as I have some upset kids

Re: Sudden Solid Orange Light
Thanks for moving this post to a new thread, I have tried calling BT but the option to report a fault then sends a txt msg asking for the phone number associated with my account which I don’t know. Which leaves me with no alternative to report this fault.

Re: Sudden Solid Orange Light
I have fibre broadband 100mb. When I log into myBT it doesn’t show my broadband account and only shows that I have previously purchased bt sport.

Re: Sudden Solid Orange Light
if you have a landline and not digital voice can you check for a dial tone?

Re: Sudden Solid Orange Light
If you have not already done this try a factory reset of the BT hub by pressing a pin into the recess button on the rear for about 20 seconds.

Re: Sudden Solid Orange Light
Hi not sure how to check for a dial tone, all the yellow lights are on as usual on the fibre box on the wall. I have tried the reset on both the router and fibre box but still the router has an orange light.

Re: Sudden Solid Orange Light
It would seem to me to be an account issue.

Re: Sudden Solid Orange Light
LEDs on the ONT should all be green bar LOS, not yellow.
If you've reset the Hub with a paper clip or similar, log onto the Hub at 192.168.1.254 & make sure fibre mode is enabled. If that's all good try another ethernet cable between ONT & Hub if you have one.

See https://www.bt.com/help/landline/lights-on-the-openreach-modem
If they are yellow, I would suspect a problem with the power unit.
