What does a solid red power light on the Hub 3 mean?

This usually means that the Hub is too hot.

Try these steps to fix things:

  1. Switch the Hub’s power supply off at the wall
  2. Make sure the Hub is placed out in the open with its vents uncovered, upright, and away from heat sources
  3. Make sure all cables coming into and out of the Hub aren’t damaged and are pushed in firmly
  4. Leave the Hub for 15 minutes to cool down
  5. Finally, switch the Hub back on again and let it start up for 5-10 minutes

When it’s finished starting up, you’ll see the power light turn from flashing white to solid white.

If the Hub is still showing a red light after that, and isn’t warm to the touch, try resetting the Hub to restore it back to its factory settings. To do this just press the Hub’s pinhole factory reset button for 10 seconds with the tip of a pen, and leave it for 5-10 minutes to start up. You should see a solid white power light once it’s up and running.
