Had fibre installed 4 days ago and it’s still not active phoned Suport keep telling me to reset router done that still not working

they keep saying wait till 24 hours then should start working bt have installed the fibre box only 3 lights coming on and router red light is flashing.

im fed up might leave them if it’s not working by tomorrow Suport is useless.

What light isn't coming on on the ONT?

[Ripshod]

Three lights on the ONT is correct. The red flashing internet light on the router means it's not authenticating. Sound like someone at Vodafone has forgotten something or got some detail wrong.

Really? I 'm not on FTTP but I thought all 4 light should be on. (or at least, blinking)

Label Status Description Actions to take (if any)

POWER	Green	The ONT has power and is turned on.
Off	The ONT is turned off.	Check that the modem is plugged in and the electricity is on.
PON and LOS	PON Solid Green	Fibre optic connection to the BT exchange is working.	If you have no internet, check the physical connection between the ONT and your router. Check the configuration of your router
PON flashing / LOS off	ONT is checking the connection to the exchange.	Wait until light turns green, or turns off completely.
PON off, or PON and LOS both flashing	Fibre optic link is not Live, or there's an issue between your property and the BT exchange.	Check that the white fibre optic cable is fully connected to the ONT and is not damaged. Turn off the ONT for 10 minutes, then back on again. Allow up to 5 minutes for the ONT to reconnect.
PORT1-PORT4	On (any)	The Ethernet connection between the ONT and your device is normal and working as expected.
Blinking (any)	Data is being transmitted between the ONT and the device connected to that port.
Off (any)	Either nothing is connected to that port, or there is an issue with the connection.	Check both ends of the Ethernet cable to ensure no damage and a solid physical connection to both devices.
OPTICAL	Solid Green	Your line is connected.

I'm suspecting the OP has incorrectly cabled the router to the ONT, which is why I asked which one wasn't illuminated.

Oh, yes, I see my error, LOS should be off.

I think I was thinking of the CityFibre ONT, that has 4 lights, and all should be illuminated.
