Ah, OK. So in your case, the problem definitely was with the broadband. Those green lights on the Hub indicate it had lost its connection. I think the V6 was just an unlucky victim - the red button wouldn't work (and may lock up for a while) without a working broadband connection.

1701-e's sounds like something different, but I'm not sure what.
