Activation date and router

[CarlDonohue]

Hi I recently started a contract for my wifi router and yesterday I received said router, I plugged it in and the router had a orange flashing light (I am aware that the orange flashing light means connecting to broader band) but I waited an hour but the orange flashing light was still there. I checked the cables which were all in correctly. So I am wondering if there something wrong or do I just have to wait for my activation date. 

P.S. How do I find out my activation date as I am unaware of when it is

You need to wait for your activation date, of which you should've been informed.

Hi I got an email saying that it should be online but still nothing is there anything else I should look out for 

[XRaySpeX]

Wait until midnight.

Have you tried resetting the router?

Hi, did you get it to figure it out? I am having the same issue. 
they told me activation would be on 26th of September or before. So i am very confused.

@Samiihaaa If you were told that it was the 26th Sept, then it is until Midnight of that date, that is on Thursday of next week, you should start to get text/email messages from EE to the status. There is no before. Who is your current ISP supplying your broadband?

[Samiihaaa]

We have no broadband supplier, we are waiting for EE to get started.

@Samiihaaa Then any e-mail/text you have had regarding installation or activation will be the earliest dates available and those may slip but you hope not, where did you get the statement from earlier " or before " this is highly unusual? Are you having an install done, or is it a self installation of the EE router?
