Vodafone 4G backup
We had a powercut and when the power came back, shortly after we had internet.
I then noticed it was very slow. It appears to be using my Vodafone 4G instead of Virgin Broadband . I have a SIM only contract with Vodafone.
When I enter the ip address for my hub 4 it takes me to a login page for a Vodafone hub. I have never had a Vodafone hub or Vodafone broadband and now can’t get into my hub or get it to connect to virgin.
Instead of the 980Mbps I was getting before the powercut I am now gett Less than 20. Speedtest shows I am connected to Vodafone not virgin.
How do I get my hub to connect back to my broadband?
Help?
Thanks

Re: Vodafone 4G backup
Well, I ‘forgot’ the network and rejoined and all is now fine (I’m now getting 1145Mbps)
I’ve no idea how it was connecting to the Vodafone network as I don’t have a hub and turned off the personal hotspot on my phone and it was still connecting.
Anyway, all sorted now.

Re: Vodafone 4G backup
It gets worse.
My other iPad was still connecting to Vodafone so I tried the same. Still Vodafone.
On my phone I could connect to the hub so I changed the network name in case I somehow had something else connecting to Vodafone wiith the same network SSID.
Now all my devices are connecting to my hub with the new SSID and the hub is connecting to Vodafone not Virgin.
I have rebooted the hub and am running oit of ideas…

Re: Vodafone 4G backup
The only Vodafone device I have is the SIM in my iPhone. It is turned off and I still have a Vodafone connection through my hub.

Re: Vodafone 4G backup
The personal hotspot on an iPhone wouldn’t show a Vodafone hub login. It wouldn’t (by default at least) even operate on the same IP as your hub.

Could your iOS devices have connected to a neighbour’s Wi-Fi? If you’d connected with one in the past your iCloud Keychain would have shared the password with the other device.

Re: Vodafone 4G backup
No, I managed to change the SSID on my hunt and my devices are connected to my new SSID which is connected to Vodafone…

Re: Vodafone 4G backup
Interesting.

I am now with Vodafone/CityFibre. Part of their service is 4G backup. Instead of their hub I use my own dual WAN router with VF's 4G Sim dongle on USB. We have had one short outage in 18 months. 4G came in seamlessly at 45Mb. Like you I only noticed because speeds were slower, but when I logged onto my Asus router it went directly to it, not to the the VF Hub GUI. This is probably because the VF backup is integral to my ASUS set up.

The only cause for your issue that I can think of is that you have somehow left your VF mobile in WiFi Hotspot mode and that your Hub 4 and other devices are using it as WAN automatically connecting to it using connection credentials used on a past occasion. (Hub 4 connecting to WAN by WiFi? Is that a thing?) Check that your phone is not acting as a WiFi hotspot. If in doubt, shut it down and then reboot everything else. With no other WAN connections apart from VM surely they will reconfigure.

Re: Vodafone 4G backup
I turned off my hotspot, then I turned off my phone (with my only Vodafone SIM in it) off completely.
I was still connected to Vodafone through my Virgin hub!

OK. In that case a complete factory reset of your Hub 4 is needed. If that doesn't work, I'm flummoxed.

Re: Vodafone 4G backup
Well you're definitely connected to Vodafone somehow. Have you tried turning off the hub and see if you still have internet access?

If that proves that you are connected through the hub, pinhole reset it.

Re: Vodafone 4G backup
If I turn off the hub I lose internet. It is definitely going through the hub.
I am reluctant to reset the hub as, if I do and it reconnects to Vodafone, I then cant change the SSID/password and none of my devices will be able to connect

Re: Vodafone 4G backup
Do you have power line adaptors by any chance? I have witnessed them before connecting to a neighbours broadband over the power grid.
