I have been working at home for 2 years.  I am unable to connect to my work network.  I understand on 21/4/22 there was an update.  Please can you update my router as I need to work at home tomorrow.

 

Thank you

Hi Karl

 

Amazing, all working.  I can't understand why the customer service tell people that talk talk does not deal with vpn  access when you clearly do.  It's taken me 3 weeks to Get this issue sorted.

 

Thanks again.

Hi everyone, I have the exact same problem. I tried to speak with an agent through the online chat but the problem still exists.  He suggested resetting my router to factory settings and if there were any new firmware updates will do it at midnight. Unfortunately, my firmware is still the same and I still can't connect to VPN. Today, I brought my laptop to work to connect with the Wi-Fi and the VPN connected successfully. Can anyone please help me on that as I have days that I have to work from home and I am not able? Thanks a lot.

Hi Dopey3

 

I will need to make a change to your router firmware, when would be the best time to do this?

 

We advise to leave the router switched on without being rebooted whilst we update the firmware, this should take no longer than 15 minutes to update.

 

Thanks

Hi, yes I have a Sagemcom Wi-Fi hub.  I assume the software is built in.

 

Thank you for replying, I've not been able to get much help by chat/phone.

We'll then look into this further. Please do not post this information on this thread. Once you've updated your profile please post in your topic to confirm it's updated.

Hi @Dopey3,

 

If you have the Sagemcom Wi-Fi Hub then this will probably have been caused by the firmware upgrading to a new version.

 

What VPN software do you use, or is it the built in Windows 10/11 VPN ?

 

The support team here will be able to help, if you do have the Sagemcom they will probably be able to fix it by changing some router settings, they will hopefully be able to reply tomorrow.

 

For one of the TalkTalk Support Team on this community to be able to look into this you will need to update your community profile to include your name, landline telephone number that your TalkTalk service is provided on & an alternative contact number. This will allow them to identify you, and they will then be able to help.

 

Don't post any personal details in this thread, just add them to your community profile (only you and the TalkTalk Support Team on this community can see your profile details).
