Huawei HG635 - Keeps on Resetting to Factory Defaults

Davemjames — Sat, 06 Apr 2024 09:26:23 GMT

Hi All,

I have a problem with my HG635 router in that it keeps on resetting itself to factory defaults, which is rather annoying as I have to reset its IP address, DHCP server & port forwarding due to the continual resets. I also don't use the Talk Talk Wifi as I have an EERO mesh system, along with a lot of home automation (such as a Hive Thermostat, Hue Lighting, Govee Lighting etc.)

The modem was looking a software image file at one point.

Anyone else had this issue and if so how did you fix it?

You cannot update the firmware yourself. Your router is old, I will ask TalkTalk to replace it for you.

I have asked one of TalkTalk's support to pick your thread up and investigate it for you.

They aim to respond within 48 hours (Monday - Friday) excluding Bank Holidays, but if more urgent you can always try the Service Centre on 0345 172 0088. The posts are responded to in time/date order, oldest first.

Sorry, on re-reading your post, if you do not use this router, then surely it is simply a case of returning it.

Hi Keith,

I have to use the router, I just don't use the WiFi provision from it.

Thanks for asking a Tech Support to exchange my router. I think it's coming to the end of it's life.

This does not make sense, if you have the Eero, just connect it to the Ethernet cable from the ONT, you don't need the HG635 at all.

Hi Keith,

I only have FTTC (Fibre to the cabinet) not FTTP (Fibre to the property), still have to use the old copper wires to connect.

Ah OK I see. Well, I have asked them to replace it, they do not work at weekends, so it will still be Monday now.
