Hi all! I've had a Sagemcom FAST5364 Router for about or at least a year now, but have recently noticed it's making a faint tick/click sound every two seconds, I found a post here regarding this in which it was said it isn't normal, it was however not determined whether it was a sign of impending failure or overheating, does anyone know or has had the same Router doing the same thing for a significant time without any problems?
No, I'm not very worried now I know other people have experienced the same sound without issues and a new one does it also. I just initially feared a failure or fire risk but I'm more at ease now, Thanks for your time regarding this.
No, it's plugged in to an extension lead with 3 other devices, the sound is very faint, you would have to be very close to the router with no background noise to hear it.
Hi Debbie, It's located in the living room closest to the phone socket, the sound is very faint, you would have to be very close to the router with no background noise to hear it, it could've been doing it since I had it but I only just recently noticed when I was close to it at some point during the night when everything else was quiet.
That is curious. I have been using Sagemcom routers from TalkTalk over many years and have never noticed this. And trust me I am aurally acuitive enough for that to have bothered me! Perhaps you and the teardown guy have been unlucky? Are you plugging the unit into a single isolated power socket?
Hi Debbie, Received the new Router but it also makes the same sound, I think it may just be a trait of this particular Router as I've found the issue is also mentioned in the article linked below, my Husband has emailed Sagemcom to see what they have to say about it.
Hi Debbie, Thanks for your reply, If it's definitely abnormal for this particular Router to make this noise then I think a replacement might be best, Thank You. 🙂
