Router no longer receiving updates

[Peter6734]

Hello,

I have received an email and letter from TalkTalk saying that to my router (HG533) is no longer supported and will not receive any more security updates. I’ve checked that it is on the list of unsupported devices on your website so please can you arrange for a new router to be sent to me. 
Thank you.

Wow, I am not surprised; that router is ancient by today's standards. I have asked one of TalkTalk's support to pick your thread up and investigate it for you.

They aim to respond within 48 hours (Monday - Friday), excluding Bank Holidays, but if more urgent, you can always try the Service Centre on 0345 172 0088. The posts are responded to in time/date order, oldest first.
