Ultra Hub - White Light Flashing / Blinking... BUT Internet is working!

Hello Community Power - I have an Ultra Hub white light blinking but the internet is working fine.

Yep - restarted and all tat faf.. but still the white light is not static.

I found the issue - I thought of replacing the Vodafone provided Cat-5e Red/Yellow (WAN/LAN) cable with Cat-8 network cable to connect the Ultra Hub with the ONT (black) box - and you will see that the Ethernet (Green light) is off, so if I downgrade the connection from Cat-8 network cable back down to Vodafone provided Cat-5e - the Ethernet green light is back on!

Why on earth Vodafone Ultra Hub and/or ONT is not compatible with CAT-7 or CAT-8 ? no idea!

@PAR35HNH4 Because the VF router came out before Cat 7/8. There's little point using the newest cable type when the router is only working at 1Gbps.

Also they are not backwards compatible with Cat 5 basic, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_11801#CAT7
