Huawei HG633 router requires regular restarting to achieve download speed > 2 Mbps

redhutch345 — Thu, 26 Dec 2024 16:34:49 GMT

Hello

I've been a TalkTalk customer for many years and have had the same HG633 router since joining.

In the last 6 months I've noticed my download speeds regularly drop to around 2Mbps. Restarting the router fixes this, but only temporarily. Is it possible to have a new router provided to fix this, please?

Many thanks

Do you provide a recycling service for old routers, or should I dispose of it myself?

If there is a recycling bag included you return the old one via that.

If no bag post back here to get a returns bag or agreement you can recycle yourself.
