What the lights on the TalkTalk Wi-Fi Hub indicate

Blinking amber

Your Wi-Fi Hub is starting up. You might see this if you suddenly lost power or the router has decided to reboot itself. Sometimes routers reboot automatically to shake off a connection problem. Rebooting your router is often the easiest way to solve connection problems. Sometimes things just get stuck!

Blinking amber and white

Your Wi-Fi Hub is connecting to the internet. Your devices may show they have a Wi-Fi connection, but you won’t be able to access any websites or online apps until the white has gone solid white.

Solid white

You’re connected to the internet. All is good.

Solid amber

Your Wi-Fi Hub is verifying your connection. If you’ve got a fibre connection you should wait a few minutes. If you haven’t got fibre, or the light stays solid amber for more than 15 minutes, you’ve got a problem. It’s time for a chat with those lovely people on the TalkTalk helpdesk.
