I'm glad we're all getting back down to business—figuring out how to get stuff to work with Wink! Lol.

I didn't actually know that was a thing. Our old modem went out and they showed up with this thing. I don't even use the wireless cause my existing router works just fine. I'll see about getting a dedicated cable modem and send this thing back now that I know!

If anyone here needs a step-by-step walk-through of how to get their Wink Hub back online after the debacle, please PM me on Anandtech or e-mail me at immahelpuwithwink@outlook.com. Unless you have a stupid ISP-provided modem/router that doesn't let you change your DNS, I can probably have you...

I have, too. I said he was immature. But somehow you can just tell he's passionate about his company and the customers that will KEEP him in business.

You're right; sorry. I was looking at my LINK hub version. My WINK hub is 0.86. Will edit previous post.

Holy what. This worked. So after about two hours fighting with my modem (ISP-provided; could not change DNS. Sons of bitches.).... When it worked and I almost cried like a big baby! "Baby! BABY LOOK!!! (***dims lights!!!***)" I got some eye rolls, but I couldn't be happier. Say what you will...

Absolutely not.

Since they are pulling all unopened Wink hubs off of store shelves, for repair, I think it's safe to say you will need to send your unopened one back, too. I got one for some friends for Christmas, and due to moving reasons, they haven't opened it yet. I am taking it from them and sending it in...

I almost unsubscribed from this thread because of everyone's negativity. But then I thought that wouldn't be fair to me, and to others who are just looking for help and a supportive community. Everyone threatening to jump ship, just do it already. You are eroding at the sense of community we've...

That's my suspicion as well. And I only unplugged mine ONCE! How dumb I feel.

From FB: "... are you still working on any potential solutions that could alleviate the need to mail in the hubs? "Maybe a do-it-yourself flash tool for your more techy customers who feel comfortable doing that sort of thing?" Ben Kauffman's response: "Yes we are hoping to have an 'advanced...

There's a link I used several posts up. Or just search Facebook for the Wink Users Group.

Sure you will. Why wouldn't you?

It's a $50 gift card coupon code, not a $62.86 gift card coupon code. I mean, really. I've never seen so many whiny babies. Yes this all sucks, but we're in it together. Or, you know, we're not. It's up to you I guess. And no, lol, I don't work for Wink.

I can't imagine what could possibly go so wrong that hubs need to be physically accessed to fix it.... Any ideas?
