FAQ
Network LED on HDHomeRun is blinking red
This indicates that the HDHomeRun does not have a network connection. Please try a different network cable and port on your switch/router. If the issue persists, please open a trouble ticket.
Network LED on HDHomeRun is blinking green
This indicates that the HDHomeRun has a network connection but is not getting an IP address from your router. Check to make sure that the DHCP function is enabled on your router, and that either the allowed devices/access control/MAC filtering function on the router is disabled, or that the HDHomeRun is on the allowed list.
Fan does not turn off at power-up
The fan on the HDHomeRun Extend should turn off within 20-30 seconds of power-up. If yours does not, this indicates a hardware issue with your device. Please open a trouble ticket.
Fan does not turn on (plastic case model only)
The fan on the HDHomeRun EXTEND (gray plastic case model only) should turn on at power-up and when the internal temperature dictates it. If the fan on your device does not power on, it may no longer be functional. We offer conversion to the new fanless metal case model for a fee. Please open a trouble ticket for more information.
