Wifi Smart Plus Flashing Blue - won't connect to Hub

Instructions says it might take 5 minutes to connect, but it's been flashing blue for 4-5 hours. Is this normal??

@JNewnham1979 what is it you are trying to connect to?

Is this a new installation of broadband or are you trying to connect to something else?

the smart wifi plus goes solid red, when connected via ethernet

@JNewnham1979 which model and colour router and smart wifi device do you have.

Not all are compatible with each other.

JNewnham1979 · ‎07-06-2024

Hmmmm. Just checked my existing smart wifi plus, and it's a SW30A model. The second one is a SW10A model, which won't connect to my SH31B Hub.

Mustrum · ‎07-06-2024

@JNewnham1979 Ah, pretty sure the SW10A only works on older hubs.

Where did you get it from? Are you able to send it back and get a SW30A?

Thanks - got it all direct from BT/EE.....so I guess I'll have to spend 2 hours on the phone again, and wait for the correct kit. Thanks for your help.
