Sky hub SR101 home page & wireless problem
I have a sky hub SR101. Twice, now, I have had to revert to factory defaults following power off/on.
Yesterday, we had a new consumer unit fitted so the power was off for several hours then several power cycles while the circuits were tested. Following this, the hub allowed me to browse the Internet OK from a wired computer however I could not access the hub's home page (192.168.0.1 - although I could ping it OK), there were no wireless connections and the wireless LED on the hub was not lit. Pressing the rest button at the back of the hub to reboot had no effect so there was no option but to hold in the reset button to install factory defaults then to re-enter the wireless info, etc. again.
Having had to do this twice, now, I find this very annoying.
Has anyone else had a similar problem and is there a fix?

Re: Sky hub SR101 home page & wireless problem
You should really have powered off the Hub while switching the power off and on over a short period. If you don't DLM is liable to kick in and reduce your speed. You will get it back, but it can take quite a few days to return to normal.Yesterday, we had a new consumer unit fitted so the power was off for several hours then several power cycles while the circuits were tested.
When this happens the first thing to do is try another browser.I could not access the hub's home page (192.168.0.1
Its very unusual for the wireless to be effected by powering off and on. Did it return after you reset the router?there were no wireless connections and the wireless LED on the hub was not lit.

Thanks for the reply.
Pressing the reset button at the back of the hub to reboot had no effect so there was no option but to hold in the reset button to install factory defaults then to re-enter the wireless info, etc. again. All was then well.

You could have unplugged it from mains, rather than resorting to factory reset.

this is a usual issue that happens when some sort power disruption eg lightning strike , powercut or fuse blowing seen this happen mostly on the 2 new hubs and only way to reset this hold in reset for 10 to 15 secs powering off/on doesn't work
