Sometimes it is necessary to reboot networking equipment and the hub is no exception.  When you experience network related problems, follow these simple steps.

1)  Power off the HUB for 30 seconds and restore power.

2)  Wait for the second light from the bottom to flash AMBER.

3)  Are you connected to the internet?  If no, continue with this this article.

4)  Power off all networking equipment, including the HUB, any personal router, and your cable modem, or device providing your internet connection.

5)  Power up ONLY the first device(the device that provides your internet connection, i.e. cable modem) and allow it to come completely back online.  With a computer connected to the device that you just powered on, verify that you have an internet connection.  If you do not, contact your internet provider.  If you do, continue to Step 6.

6)  Once the first device is restored, power up the next device(device that is connected to the first device via ethernet cable) and let it come completely back online.  If this is your HUB proceed to step 8.  If it is a different device, go to step 7.

7)  Power up the HUB.

8)  Attempt to connect to the internet via a PC connected to the LAN port on the hub.
