My VMB4540 Hub won't connect to my wired network anymore. It was working for over a year without any issues, only stopped when our network went down a few weeks ago.
I have followed all the instructions without any change. 
When the HUB is plugged in it blinks orange, if I restart the HUB using the app it blinks blue for a few seconds, then stays blue for 10secs before going back to blinking orange.

I have rebooted router, used different cables, disconnected from the power supply, everything I can think of.
Anyone have any other ideas?

Have you checked the voltage from the power supply? It should be 12 volts DC. Otherwise, I'd think the hub is toast.

Did you try connecting the hub to a different LAN port on the router?

 

Also, can you test the router ethernet (perhaps using a PC???)

Thankyou for the tip. I plug into a PC and the orange light stops blinking. It's a solid orange now. Then goes to a solid blue for around 10secs, then back to solid orange.

 

No connection still.

Not sure what you did exactly.  The idea was to plug the PC into the router, not the smarthub.  Then see if you can reach the internet from the PC (with the PC wifi turned off).

Yes ,that is what I did. PC connected to the network without any issues.

Yes, same issue. It's like it connects then it can't hold the connection.
