Iv'e had this since september 2024, but since February 2025, i have had increasingly had problems connecting to it, with all our devises, since beginning of March, I have had to reboot it 5 or 6 times a day, its got so bad that I have now got our old smarty account as a backup, My wife works London Ambulance service, and needs to work from home, today is the last strew, I'm having to use smarty account to log onto here to ask for help.
The reason I've not reported it earlier is because I'm recovering from major surgery in March, and have unwell ever since.
Symptoms are
Flashing blue / red most of the time
Have to reboot frequently the the pin reset button.
Unable to contact to system.
Bottom is hot.
Thanks for any help solving this.

Hello @Gary227.
Thanks for coming here.
I am sorry to hear you have been unwell and hope you are feeling better soon.
Have you reported this to our technical care team?
If yes, what steps have they taken?
Is the bottom always hot or is this something that has recently occurred?
Speak soon,
Katie

Hi Katie,
Not reported it to technical care team, as it's extremely hard for me to do much at the moment, I will ask one of my sons to do it for me.
I only noticed it getting hot last week, there is a fan that briefly comes on when I reboot, but onlt for a few seconds.
Regards Gary

Update, since I last posted, I have tried to get onto technical care team, but after filling out questions, I was told to take it to shop, which I did, they said that it needed to be repaired, as my wife works from home, and we needed it fixed asap, I was told that if I take it to the Blue water shop, they could fix it in a couple of days, instead of 14, so I went there from your Southend shop to Blue water 32 mile trip, and £5.00 in tunnel fees, only to be told that they couldn't fix it, as they only repair phone, so it would have to be sent away, so to avoid having to pay even more tolls when it needed collection, I took it to the Basildon shop 20 miles, and had it sent away by them, got an email saying they couldn't find anything wrong with it, but had updated the software, I collected it next day, and it was ok for a few days, 5 at most, but now I'm having to reboot it 5 or more times a day, and I'm only getting low speeds for what was supposed to be a fast network, and get this message (

Hello @Gary227.
Thanks for coming back and keeping us updated.

Have you been able to speak with technical care since experiencing these issues again?
If yes, please could you provide an update as to what was advise?
Speak soon,
