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.

No Chris.

I have a Master Socket with separate phone and internet sockets.

The router is plugged in to the internet socket.

[Chris-TalkTalk]

Sorry, just to confirm, is it connected to the test socket with the master socket faceplate removed?

Chris

[Clarence]

Yes, the router is currently connected to the main BT socket.

[Chris-TalkTalk]

Thanks, is the router currently connected to the test socket? Your guide to main phone sockets - TalkTalk Help & Support

[Clarence]

That is correct.

[Chris-TalkTalk]

OK thanks, and the router won't reconnect if you leave it, you have to restart it?

Hi Chris

There is occasional noise on the line. Not sure of any telephone service disconnections.

The thing is that as soon as I power down the router and power it up again the broadband service is restored.

Hi Clarence

Line test is passing but is showing disconnections. Are you experiencing any problems with your telephone service, any noise on the line?

Hi Debbie.

Sorry it's me again.

When the new router was first connected it worked fine as I reported but it keeps dropping out and needs to be powered down/up to get the internet working again, which is extremely inconvenient as taking lots of online courses.

These are some of the dates/times it happenned.

21/09/24 Not sure of time

22/09/24 15:40

23/09/24 12:08

25/09/24 14:15

I don't know if you can check what happenned at these times and suggest a remedy?
