Router Firmware Update

[Clarence]

Hi

Sometime ago I purchased a new Fast 5364 router from TalkTalk.

I later purchased a BT Premium Whole Home Wi-Fi system with a Pack of 3 Discs which worked fine with the router.

Then, following a firmware update, the discs would no longer connect to the router. I contacted BT who said they were aware of the issue and I should contact TalkTalk, which I did. However, TalkTalk was unable to help and I reverted back to an old router, which did work with the discs.

I now understand that TalkTalk has resolved the firmware issue and there is a new version which will work with the discs.

If I leave the Fast 5364 router plugged in overnight, will it automatically be updated to the latest firmware version?

Thanks.

Hi @Clarence 

Great 🙂

I will start the firmware update at 10.30 and I will post back here to confirm once it's completed 🙂

[Clarence]

That would be perfect. Thank you.

Hi @Clarence 

Apologies for the confusion. Yes sure, I can start the firmware update at 10.30am, will this be ok?

[Clarence]

Morning Debbie.

The router currently connected is my old one which does have the latest firmware but keeps dropping out nearly every day which is why you sent me the new one. It is the new one which has the old firmware which doesn't work with my BT wifi disks so I reconnected my old router temporarilly because even though it keeps dropping out it does enable wifi via the BT disks.

I want to reconnect the new router you sent me but need the new firmware pushed out so it works with the BT wifi disks.

Would it be possible to do this after 10.30am this morning?

Morning @Clarence 

Apologies for the delay.

I can see that your router firmware has now updated to the latest version.

Thanks

Just connect it now and leave it on all the time overnight  - that's when most updates happen,  @Clarence.

Hi Debbie

Unfortunately the router that was sent does not have the latest firmware and so does not work with my wifi disks.

If I connect it tomorrow would it be possible to update the firmware?

Ideally between 8am and 11am.

Hi Clarence

No problem 🙂

Thank you 🙂

Debbie

[Clarence]

Wow. That was fast.

Thank you so much.

I will definitely let you know how I get on.

[Debbie-TalkTalk]

Hi @Clarence 

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

Please let us know how you get on.

Thanks
