5G Outdoor Hub Stopped Working – Eero Says Offline, No Fix Yet

Hi all,

 

Just wondering if anyone else has run into this recently — my Three 5G outdoor hub randomly stopped working last Friday.

 

It all started when the Eero app suddenly showed my network as offline, even though everything seemed fine and I still had internet access. I figured it was just a glitch with the app itself, so I tried the usual fixes: reinstalling the app, clearing cache, restarting phone, etc. No change.

 

Eventually I was advised to reset both the Eero and the 5G hub. After doing that, the situation got worse — now Eero won’t let me set the network back up at all, saying the modem can’t connect. Super frustrating.

 

I contacted Three and all they’ve said so far is that they’re aware of the issue. According to them, it’s a problem on Eero’s side — specifically a dodgy firmware update that needs a patch. But when I reached out to Eero support, they claim it’s actually something Three has done, and say their app and systems are working as expected.

 

So right now, I’m stuck in limbo with no clear fix and both sides pointing the finger at each other.

 

Anyone else dealing with this? Any luck getting it resolved?

 

Cheers!

I had a BT router but it won't plug into the POE injector, as it doesn't take Ethernet just the regular broadband phone line type plug to receive signal, and I haven't got an Ethernet converter to get it into the BT router.  I'm absolutely stuck and running out of my phone sim data in the mean time scratching my head what to do

Does the BT router not have any ethernet ports? You don't use the phone line socket when using it just as a router!

So I tried it using WAN port on BT socket, it did work briefly for a moment then all I got was no signal, even after disabling FFTP or whatever it's called in the BT hub settings. So right now I have no idea. At this rate I'll just try a different network sim in the outside router as it's clearly a specific Three network issue, if it's being dodgy with Eero and an alternative router.
