I'm having trouble re-linking up my Google Nest wifi router to my Vodafone broadband hub. It worked fine previously, but I needed to re-link it up. I wondered if anyone could help please.
My vodafone hub has a solid white power and wifi light but the internet light is constantly flashing red, and no amount of reboots or resets seems to be able to change this. I am able to connect to use wifi fine (and to connect to other devices), but when my Google Home app finds my Google Nest router it goes onto say it can't connect as 'Connection issue - the modem isn't giving your wifi point an internet connection'. I'm convinced this is something to do with the flashing red light (which won't change to solid white).
I've been batted off by Vodafone and told to speak to Google Nest support, which I've done. Vodafone said my wifi is showing as connecting fine, and the fact it won't connect to the Nest is probably because of faulty Google equipment, but the Nest is only 2 months old and Google have now looked at a status test I submitted (which they said looked fine re the Nest) and made me do a factory reset of the Nest (which didn't solve the problem). Therefore Google are now telling me the problem does lie with Vodafone.
How can my Vodafone hub be working perfectly (as Vodafone are telling me) if I have a flashing red internet light?

Well done for getting it working, home networking is not an easy subject to get your head around if you are having to learn out of necessity, rather than just because you enjoy it.

Please start a new thread as this one is a year old and may not be noticed.
Please tell the forum what you have tried and the device status (error messages, flashing LEDs, etc). Have you looked at similar conversations in the forum? It's hard to help someone without some information.

Hi @Evie,
Thanks for your reply, I was out of the country so tried to DM today and after waiting an hour for a reply on Messenger and starting a new conversation (still no reply on that one) I gave up!
I don’t have Twitter, is there a better way to contact Vodafone? Thanks, Lyla
