My Smart Hybrid Connect was working normally until Wednesday, then suddenly stopped. My fixed broadband hasn’t been activated yet, so we’re relying on Connectivity Backup. The hybrid connect still has 2 bars of mobile signal and can communicate with the SH35A, but the Smart Hub stays orange and all devices have Wi-Fi with no internet. I’ve already restarted both and checked the Ethernet connection. Can you check the Connectivity Backup pairing/provisioning and whether there’s a fault with the hybrid connect? I can confirm that the smart hub is at fault because the hybrid connect goes white with 2 bars but the smart hub refuses to change to any color other than orange.

@sap2 Have you tried HELP to 66033 for EE to check the connection for you if they can, does look like your EE SH35A is not paired to the Connectivity Backup unit, is it wireless connected or wired by Ethernet to the Hub? Web manager to the Hub by https://192.168.1.254 and you can see the state off it in the status manager.
EE CS is open from 8am onwards.
