How to enable Wi-Fi on Vodafone Ultra Hub/Plus modem, Vodafone HG659 modem.
Check the power point is switched ON and works.
No light, check your power cable is plugged in properly to the modem and the wall power point. If your router still can't get an IP, something on their end is wrong or your router is smoked, which isn't uncommon with consumer networking gear.This article provides steps to help you troubleshoot your broadband Wi-Fi connection between your device and your modem or router.įlashing or solid red, your modem might be faulty. It probably wouldn't hurt to reset your router to factory defaults as I get the sneaking suspicion you've changed some things in there that you shouldn't have. Alternately, if you have access to the ONT, you can unplug the power and disconnect the battery backup, wait a minute, plug it all back in (with the router already powered on). You may have to call the provider so they can reset the ONT. Plug the router in to the ethernet connection first. You yourself could have muck'ed something up. Just because the *switch* in your router is working, doesn't mean the bridge/NAT functionality is (meaning, file sharing is working while internet isn't). If their gear is assigning your gear an IP, which it had been doing, there is something wrong on your end. I have glanced through the logs of the router but nothing of the sorts could be found. I wonder if there is a way to check for such a thing. I wonder if excessive NAKs are logged in routers. Then after all the troubleshooting procedures, the cable fixed itself. When I tried the cable on the computer's network interface with the other MAC address, the cable still showed faulty characteristics. So perhaps during a transmission, the cable caused some interference which made the router bomb the ISPs router/switch with NAK's which eventually MAC banned the router. The cause may be oxidization or a dust particle that has wedged itself between the connectors. So how about this, the current network cable is glitchy? It's a hypothesis I'm stating now. The only strange thing is that both network interfaces on that computer didn't work. That's why the MAC "ban" also affected the computer, I assume. The router had the same MAC as one of the network interfaces on the "faulty" computer which I had entered into the router on a prior troubleshooting session a long time ago and then forgotten about it. Her response was brief I don't know how your equipment works! So while I was with the support and arguing while tinkering with the "broken" computer connected directly to the outlet, I got the idea to change the MAC address and Bob's your uncle. In addition, I had no problems with file sharing over the local network and the router is connecting properly with the computer that is supposedly "faulty". I replied that that two devices getting faulty at exactly the same time is very unlikely. The support immediately said that something is wrong with my equipment and that is not their responsibility. I decided to grab another computer, and saw that everything was working. I did it all with the same cable simply because I'm lazy.Īs I was kind of arguing with the support that insisted that everything is normal. That computer has two separate network interfaces and none of them worked. So I started troubleshooting by attaching a computer system that is normally behind the router and noticed that it didn't work either. It uses some kind of a DHCP protocol to negotiate a WAN address with the ISP's equipment. I noticed that the router couldn't get a connection.

I was out last time I replied so I was pretty brief.
