DG8041W keeps resetting with kernel panic

[jmmb20201]

Hi TalkTalk,

Like many other users here, my TalkTalk DG8041W (v1.0.5t) router keeps crashing with kernel panics and rebooting, and it's happening increasingly, now every hour.  This is incredibly bad for me as I keep getting dropped off my meetings. I need reliable service.

I have tried the support chat but the agent was not equipped to deal with the issue.

I have seen that other users here have had similar issues, which you have solved by pushing out a firmware update (v1.0.6):

https://community.talktalk.co.uk/t5/Fibre/DG8041W-Kernel-panic/td-p/2789784

etc.

I have attached the user logs below. If you could help fix this as soon as possible, I would be incredibly grateful.

 Hi

I've updated the firmware, this should resolve the Kernel Panic issue you are seeing.

Thanks  

Karl.
