Can't connect to work VPN

[Andrew_1005]

I am unable to connect to my work PPTP VPN through my Talktalk WiFi Hub router.

I know the VPN works, as I am able to connect via hotspot from mobile data. 

It looks like many others have had the same issue, and the resuloution seems to be to upgrade the firmware.

Can you please help me with upgrading my firmware? 

Current version SG4K100136

That's it! It works! Brilliant 🙂

I've spent over 7 hours on the chat help line trying to get help with this and they told me they couldn't upgrade the firmware. Infuriating and useless. You just did in 20 mins - sorted.

You're a champion Karl. Thank you so much.

Hi

updating the router will knock you off line for up to 10 minutes, is it OK to go ahead with this now ?
