EE Smart Hub flashing purple

Hi there,

We have had various speed issues recently so agreed to have full fibre installed. External cabling sorted by Open Reach several weeks ago and internal installation happened on Wednesday. However, since then the EE Smart 2 (which is new as they sent it when we were having speed issues) has been flashing purple. The Open Reach bloke said that it was an authentication issue on EE's part. Called EE and having spoken to several tech guides some didn't know that the EE hub could flash purple. On googling I think it is because the hub manager is not switched to full fibre but how do I get to the router settings with the hub offline?
