TalkTalk Wi-Fi Hub Firmware SG4K100208

gcotgreave — Fri, 28 Feb 2025 08:13:33 GMT

As noted in the post "New TalkTalk Wi-Fi Hub Firmware SG4K100208"

"Since the recent update to SG4K100208 within the routers menu structure Maintenance -> Logs is now empty regardless of the logging criteria applied."

I noted in my reply that I was experiencing the same issue.

@Anonymous asked that the additional info was added to a new thread

I also noted tha the router had re-started the regular 6 Second drop outs, which had plagued a previous update, then resolved in an update prior to SG4K100208.

I have a SamKnows box constantly monitoring the line. It is impossible to

check what is going on as, combined with this latest bug, there's no log to read!

Going to My Connection says all is fine!

It is also worth noting that the logs page has had a longer standing bug (also mentioned on thes forums) that often only page 1 can be read. Trying to access subsequent pages causes a crash, and needed you to re-login to the router.

Here's where the drop outs start, days prior to the update, all have green ticks.

Morning,

Thank you for creating a new topic. I've raised this with our Devices Team now and I will post back here as soon as I receive an update back.

Morning,

Can I just check, do any of the lights change on your router when the connection drops please?

Thanks

Michelle

Hi given that the drops are 6s long by the time you've noticed a glitch in the TV etc, it's too late to race to the router to check.

Hi,

Our Devices Team think this may be a wireless coverage issue. Does it happen on every device?

Given the SamKnows box is a wired connection and so is the TV, I can't see how it is a WiFi issue.

Given that this started happening last year, and had been noticed by other community members, then stopped all of a sudden, only to return after the latest update, I'm not sure how that can be related to WiFi either.

Until the bug with the Logs Page is resolved, its difficult to provide anymore info.

Morning,

Would it be ok if we send a replacement router just to see how this compares please? I believe this will come with the previous firmware.

Happy to try.

Alternatively if you can send the old firmware file I could try a maintenance install to see if rolling back works

Hi @gcotgreave

The replacement router is on its way, please allow 24-48hrs for this to arrive.

Let us know how the connection compares with the new router.

Thanks

Debbie

Hi there,

I seem to have the same issue as other people have here with firmware SG4K100208. No logs, WiFi dropping and reconnecting on some devices but refusing to do so on others.

Looking at the router, the broadband is staying connected.

Is there a firmware update coming or can I roll back the firmware?

Thanks,

Darren

Hi Michelle,

Oops, done.

Hi @DarrenGraves

Thank you. I can roll your firmware back for testing, will it be ok to do this now?

@gcotgreave Would you like me to try this for you too?

Re: TalkTalk Wi-Fi Hub Firmware SG4K100208

gcotgreave — Wed, 05 Mar 2025 13:15:34 GMT

That's fine by me. Just to note your colleague has already posted a new router.so if you're rolling back I'll hang fire installing it when it arrives

Hello,

The FW has now been rolled back. We'll check back in with you in the morning to see how your connection has been.

Thanks

Hi Darren @DarrenGraves

I've made the change to the firmware, please let me know how the connection compares.

@gcotgreave How was the connection last night?

Re: TalkTalk Wi-Fi Hub Firmware SG4K100208

The line dropped at about the time the update (downdate!) SG4K100206 occured (as expected). When I got home there was no active internet. No connection possible over WiFi or Hardwire. No access to the 192.168.1.1 screen either. Rebooted twice, still nothing. Resorted to h/w reset button, and then had to manually enter all the device details passwords IPV4 reservations etc. Since midnight or so when I finished it has been stable, but that's not very long to say it's fixed.

Good news you can at least see the 1st page of logs in the maintenance screen again. (Still drops back to login screen if you try and see next page, but that's a known bug in SG4K100206)

Hi @gcotgreave

Thanks for your reply.

I will check in again with you tomorrow to make sure the connection has remained stable.
