Lost power at my house yesterday for 5 minutes, no storms/no lightning. Since then the base station won't connect to the internet. Replaced the modem (was a few years old but was working otherwise) but no change. When I plug the hub into the Ethernet port on the modem it goes to blue light after a minute then goes to flashing amber - any ideas? I tried resetting, but no help.

Network reboot has to happen in the correct order.

 

  • modem
  • router (if there is one)
  • hubs

Waiting for previous device to get up and running before moving on to the next one.

 

Power cuts are very good at killing electronics. Even without storms you never know what surges came down the line.

 

What modem is this? Any chance that it reset itself in recovering from the the power cut? Everything else working as expected?

 

Does the hub show up as usual in the app/browser?
