Vodafone Wi-Fi Hub lights – what they mean
| Light | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Power green | Hub is on | Normal |
| Internet solid green | Online via the fixed NBN line | All good |
| Wi-Fi solid green | Wi-Fi is on | Normal |
| 4G / LTE light on | On mobile backup | Fixed line is down – check NBN box/cabling |
| Internet red / off | No connection | Restart; allow 20 min on first setup; if it persists, troubleshoot the line |
| No lights | No power | Check the power adapter and socket |
First-setup vs a real fault
On a brand-new Hub, give it the full 20-minute auto-config before worrying – lights settle to green once it’s done. After that, a red or missing internet light means a genuine connection problem, and a 4G/LTE light means it’s fallen back to mobile because the fixed NBN line is down. We can tell which it is and fix the cause.

Frequently asked questions
What does a red light on my Vodafone modem mean?
A red or missing internet light means no fixed-line connection. On a new Hub allow the 20-minute setup first; after that, restart it and if it stays red the line or settings need checking.
What colour should the Vodafone Wi-Fi Hub lights be?
Power, Internet and Wi-Fi should all be solid green – that means you’re online via the fixed NBN connection.
What does the 4G light mean on the Vodafone Hub?
The 4G/LTE light means the Hub is running on mobile backup because the fixed NBN line is down. Once the fixed line is restored it returns to the green internet light.
My Vodafone modem internet light isn’t green – what do I do?
On a new Hub wait the full 20 minutes. If it’s still not green, restart it; if that doesn’t help, we diagnose the NBN line, port and settings and get you online.
Why is my Vodafone Wi-Fi light off?
An off Wi-Fi light means Wi-Fi is disabled or the Hub hasn’t finished starting. We can re-enable and configure Wi-Fi for you.
Can you fix Vodafone connection issues remotely?
Yes – many connection and Wi-Fi issues are fixable remotely; we send a technician onsite for cabling and line faults.
