O2 LUZ-ROJA on HGU fibre router: fibre connection problem
Risk level
Low
Usually safe to check without specialist tools.
Urgency
Medium
Quick answer
If a light on the O2 HGU router turns red, O2 says to check the fibre connection at the wall socket and the router. Without unplugging it, check the cable is in place and straight, then restart the router.
Safety first
Stop and check this first
- The fibre cable is fragile: do not bend it, step on it, or unplug or clean its connectors. If it is damaged, the O2 technician replaces it.
- O2's reset (Reset button about 15 seconds until all lights go off) comes after the restart: it can return the router to its original settings.
Safe checks you can perform
- Visual check of the fibre cable
- Power straight from the wall
- Restart with the power button
- Report to O2
Leave these tasks to a qualified professional
- Do not attempt this professional task: Measure optical power at the socket and the router
- Do not attempt this professional task: Check patch cable and socket before replacing the router
What a technician must be able to justify
Technician visit
These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.
These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.
Measure optical power at the socket and the router
What they doThe O2 technician measures the fibre signal reaching the wall socket and the router.
They must show youthe power reading at the socket and the router against O2's threshold.
In writingthe faulty section and what was repaired.
Check patch cable and socket before replacing the router
What they doThe technician checks the patch cable, the wall socket and the optical connectors, and only replaces the router if the reading points to it.
They must show youthe lights solid blue after the repair.
In writingthe part replaced and why.
Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Follow these steps
Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.
Visual check of the fibre cable
- Who:
- you, looking only.
- How:
- Follow the fibre cable from the wall socket to the router and check by eye the green connector is in place at both ends and the cable runs straight, without folds. Do not unplug or clean the optical connectors.
- Result that matters:
- Whether a connector is out of place or the cable is folded.
- If something is loose or bent:
- tell O2 before touching it.
- If all looks fine:
- check the power supply.
- Evidence to keep:
- Photos of the cable, the socket and the back of the router.

Power straight from the wall
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- Check the router's power cable goes straight into a wall socket and not a power strip, as O2 asks.
- Result that matters:
- Whether the lights change once plugged in directly.
- If they turn blue:
- power was the problem.
- If the red light stays:
- restart the router.
- Evidence to keep:
- A photo of the socket used.

Restart with the power button
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- Switch the router off with its button, leave it off for a few seconds and switch it back on. Wait about two minutes.
- Result that matters:
- Internet, WiFi, WiFi+ and phone lights solid blue.
- If they are solid blue:
- the router is working again.
- If the red light returns:
- contact O2.
- Evidence to keep:
- Time of the restart and light states.

Report to O2
- Who:
- you, on 1551 or ayuda@o2online.es.
- How:
- Explain there is a red light, the cable looks fine, the router is plugged straight into the wall and you already restarted it.
- Result that matters:
- That O2 checks the line and sends a technician if needed.
- If they find a line or fibre fault:
- the repair is O2's.
- If they ask for a factory reset:
- note your settings first.
- Evidence to keep:
- Ticket number and date.

What it means
O2 explains that a correctly installed HGU router shows blue lights after about two minutes, and that a red light means a connection problem that starts with checking the fibre cable at the wall socket and the router. Its guide reminds you the fibre cable is fragile and should run as straight as possible. The light does not say whether the cable, the socket or O2's network fails, and it does not prove the router is faulty.
