Power Cut and HomeHub3

Hi all,
Had a Power Cut last night, well about 20 of then within an hour, and they have caused the Home Hub3 to do an automatic Factory Reset.
This morning I noticed that it had done a Factory Reset as all the passwords and setting had changed.
I also noticed that WPS has been enabled again aswell as the BTFone SSIDs being changed back to BTOpenzone-H and BTFON from BTWifi and BTWifi-with-Fon.
Is this an update or just caused by the factory reset?
Cheers

ah ok, so it was unlikely that the generator even started as it was very short bursts of inturrupted power.
haha all equipped then, We've just got an old corded BT 400 Decor phone when the cordless ones have no power and lots of torches 
Would the homehub be ok apart from factory resetting it's self or could it also corrupt the firmware? All seems ok at the moment, just weird how it's enabled WPS again and changed the BTFon back to BTOpenzone-H, thought that thoses settings would be coded into the firmware and not actually user-changeable settings.
cheers

    The one thing it does not show is your noise margin. If you go to hub manager then troubleshooting then logs then you are looking for 2 lines when hub last connected to the internet which give your connection speed and noise margin. If you find them can you post
    the drops in connevtion due to the power cuts have probably increased your noise margin resulting in a lower connection speed and therefore lower profile.  Your profile is correct for your current connection speed

  • Power cut and now freeze mid start-up

    Help, help, help!!!
    I had a power cut today and my mac obviously turned off!! When I try to re-start it it comes up with the apple pic and starting Mac OS X window and then goes to a blue screen and freezes. I have booted off the install disc and that worked - I ran disk utility / first aid and it came back with no problems on the hard disk. I haven't got enough room on the hard disk to re-install OS X (Im running 10.4.6 if that is relevant)??
    Does anyone have any suggestions of what else I can try? I really need my beloved mac to be up and running!!!
    Many thanks in advance

    Power hits can do crazy things to machines. It looks like you're stuck with trying out various things to see if they are the problem. So...
    1) Try pulling out all the RAM sticks but one (maybe a RAM stick got smoked).
    2) Try removing all external peripherals except for the mouse and keyboard.
    3) Try seeing if all your fans are running (cracking the case open before you turn on the machine can help). Some freezes happen due to overheating.

  • Power Cuts and Download Speed?

    I live in the North of Scotland and we are currently being hammered my a bad storm. For the last few hours we have had the electricity being knocked out and coming back on a few minutes later. This seems to be affecting my router stats.
    My question. When the electricity settles down again after the storm, will my router stats also settle down again, or do I have to request a SNR reset to sort things out again.
    Thanks.

    Hi the best suggestion I could offer to try and ensure No SNR changing when storms and power outages occur is turn off the router and leaving it off until conditions settle down again

  • My new iMac will be exposed to  daily Power cuts ..........Advice Please

    I am about to buy my first Apple Mac, an iMac 24 inch, a possible future problem I can for see is that here we get daily power cuts lasting between 5 minuest to 5 hours , I am planning on Buying a an UPS (uninterruptible power supply ) which I hope should automatically Close down the iMac when I am not there.
    My questions are.
    If I am at the computer when there’s a power cut is there a quick way to shut it down That will not cause any long term problems to the computer say if ive no applications or work In progress that need saving I just need to shut the computer down - on this PC ive got a one click quick shutdown option
    If I am at the computer when there is a power cut , and the UPS gives me time to manually turn of the computer before the power totally goes off, is there a correct fast Way to go about saving documents Etc and then shut off the computer in such a way that it will not affect the computer in any long term way.
    If the computer is set to sleep and there’s a power cut , the UPS should shut it down Automatically , what would happen when the power is restored , would the
    computer re start it self and return to sleep mode and if this is so would there be any long term Problems associated with this regular UPS automatic shut down and computer auto re start back to sleep mode.
    Does any one think that the regular power cut's syndrome may in any way affect the long term running and reliability of the computer , has any one suggestions as to what's the best way to cope and prepare for this daily power cut situation..?
    Thanks .....

    1. If I am at the computer when there’s a power cut is there a quick way to shut it down...
    In the top left corner of Mac OS X is an Apple menu available in almost every app you may be using with a Shut Down command. Mac apps are written to interrupt a Shut Down to query what to do about open files with unsaved content. After you have been given the opportunity to Save or Don't Save open files the Shut Down proceeds.
    2. If I am at the computer when there is a power cut , and the UPS gives me time to manually turn of the computer before the power totally goes off...
    The UPS should give you more than enough time to safely save all open files, quit open apps and shut down the Mac. The quickest way to begin this process is the Shut Down command in the Apple menu. You should purchase the UPS that gives you the most time to take care of shutting down within your price range.
    3. If the computer is set to sleep and there’s a power cut , the UPS should shut it down Automatically , what would happen when the power is restored...
    From my own experience of a homeland with an unreliable electric supply, I personally don't see any advantage of having the Mac restart itself to only be put to sleep. Especially if the power interruption is caused by an ongoing storm which may continue to interrupt the power
    4. Does any one think that the regular power cut's syndrome may in any way affect the long term running and reliability of the computer...
    Macs are made to be left on 24/7, without being put to sleep. I sleep mine when not in use. My experience with Macs is they can take this power interruption in stride. Mine have for 24 years. I am grateful our federal power monopoly has improved over the years and my UPS is called upon to do its job much less frequently today!

  • BT Response 75+ beeps after power cut

    I have a problem with my BT Response 75+. After a power cut and restart, the unit keeps making a beep even with no saved calls. The only way I have fixed it is to phone from mobile, not answer the call and the system pick it up, and then end the call. The system then shows 1 saved call, which I can play and delete, and the system is then working normally. WHY!! 

    I have just purchased a reconditioned Response 75+ unit from The Phone Outlet and experienced exactly the same problem as described.  Having had years of good service from my old Response 55 unit I was disappointed to find that the 75+ has no battery back-up but, hey ho, I should have checked the specification first! (Never assume anything!)
    The beep syndrome is obviously a design fault and it is frustrating that no-one appears to have got round to providing a service fix. In the meantime at least I know how to get rid of the beep and will have to live with the defect.
    Thanks for the useful post.

  • Profile reset after power cut

    Hello
    i would like a profile reset please on my bt infinity, we had a few power cuts, and the speed has dropped and interleaving has been applied, the speed hasnt gone back up ,neither has the interleaving been turned off.
    Please help
    Thanks

    Can you run a speedtest at www.speedtester.bt.com and post the results please? Run the FTTC/ADSL speedtest not the BETA test.
    Turning your Infinity modem off and back on should see the speed increase and the profile match. Unless there's a fault with either the modem or the line.
    Regarding interleaving, there's no way to have it turned off on Infinity. If the line is stable then DLM will remove interleaving however it's unknown at the moment how long this can take. Some have seen it come off in a couple of weeks, others it has taken 6 weeks.

  • SNR Increase after power cut

    Hi
    We incurred a power cut early on Monday morning after the overnight gales and rain on Sunday.
    When the router restared after the power came back on my connection speed had dropped from 4mb to 2.5mb and my download SNR ratio had increased from around 6db to 12 to 13db. Just wondered if this is a norman occurance after a power cut and is my SNR going to return to around 6db on its own (and therfore my connection speed increase) or do I need to contact BT to have it reset?
    The router stats from today are below.

    Hi NeilO
    I used the link to 'contact the Mods' on Monday dinnertime and received an automated reply saying I would be contacted in 24 to 48 hours. As of now I am still waiting for a reply and as you see below, am still stuck on a downstream SNR of 12.6db which has reduced my connection speed by nearly half. It has been around this mark now since 6th Oct 14. 
    Can you give my any indication on how my case is progressing as I also cannot connect to Sky's On Demand service wirelessly and don't want to mess around with my router until my speed increases.
    My reference number is 141012-*****

  • I have an old (first generation) iMac that I still use sometimes for the applications that are on it. I was using it yesterday and unfortunately had a power cut. I went to turn it on today, and nothing at all happens. It's as though no power is getting to

    I have an old (first generation) iMac that I still use sometimes for the applications that are on it. I was using it yesterday and unfortunately had a power cut. I went to turn it on today, and nothing at all happens. It's as though no power is getting to it. I've checked the obvious things, changed the fuse, tried different cables, poked paperclips in reset holes, but nothing doing. I wonder if there is anyone who knows what might be wrong. I was hoping to get some of its content transferred soon, but I'm guessing that can't be done if it can't be started up. Many thanks, if you can help

    Hello,
    >It's as though no power is getting to it.
    Would it be correct to assume that no sounds at all can be heard? Also, no lights, not even green or amber at the power button?
    >unfortunately had a power cut.
    Was it possibly a power cut in connection with a thunderstorm? Any other evidence of higher than normal voltages (light bulbs, et cetera)? Has the line voltage been checked (measured with an appropriate voltmeter/multimeter)?
    If necessary, it would be possible to remove the hard drive, and then connect it to an external IDE/ATA to USB adapter (example below). That way you could gain access to files on the hard disk from another computer.

    "My Mac was stopped suddenly by a power cut. Could this be relevant?"
    Sounds very relevant.
    Do you have access to another computer with Numbers installed?
    If so, do your files open properly on that computer?
    If so, then the problem is your computer itself, which is best posted in a different forum.

  • Picture flickers on and off after a power cut - seems locked

    Just had a power cut in the street and when I turn my apple TV on now the home menus come up on the screen for 2 seconds then disappear for 5, then this repeats.
    The remote won't scroll along although it seems to be paired but more concerened about why the flickering is occuring as I can't use the device.
    Any help?
    ATV2 on 4.4.4

    Try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router.

    my iphone blanked out and will not cut on i tried holding the power button and the home button any advice?

    Hey there mello12,
    It sounds like you are not able to turn on your phone. You should use these steps in the following article to help resolve it, or setup service if needed:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling
