Home Broadband no network

[Hewdogg]

I have just got home with my new 5G Home Broadband hub. Excited and expecting to plug it in and have excellent broadband on within minutes. Low and behold I have plugged the router in (located where I get 400mb on Three mobile) I get absolutely no connection, I have a red network light on the hub and 2 whit lights for power and WiFi. I have unplugged and restarted the hub 3 times each with no success. Any advice or help would be appreciated.

That sounds incredibly disappointing. Have you inserted the SIM ? 

If you have, a starting point might be to try the hub with the SIM out of the 'phone therein ; and to try the hub SIM in the 'phone. That will help to ascertain if it's a faulty SIM or a defective hub.   

Please let us know the outcome.

Is there a chance that you've got it straight out of the box and tried to set it up before 3 have actually activated the SIM?  Not that I would have gone and done anything like that... hours of attempted bug fixing... Haha!

I gave 3 a quick call and they bumped the SIM activation forward for me.  Sorted.

I guess @Avondale 's test above, would help diagnose that.  Good luck.

Hi @Hewdogg,

I think that @Limera is correct there, it sounds like the SIM isn't active, or perhaps isn't reading correctly. As @Avondale says, popping the SIM in another device if able will help narrow down a device or SIM issue.

Has it came online in the meantime, if not have you spoken to customer services?

Thanks,
Jonathan

Mine wasn't activated upon delivery either, quick call got it sorted but I had to track back through order emails to give the representative the required details 

The packing slip had a blank space where the phone number of the SIM card should have been, also the IMSI/IMEI on the sheet didn't match my order email..
