Turn Off Wi-Fi Optimisation

[R2223]

Could Wi-Fi Optimisation please be turned off again on my TalkTalk Wi-Fi Hub (Sagemcom Fast 5364) so that I can set the Wi-Fi channels manually. I had to reset the router so lost the existing setting. Thanks.

Having a simple toggle switch in the firmware is something TalkTalk really should consider adding given how many people have to ask OCE’s to turn it off.

Hi Debbie,

Thank you for getting back to me about the upcoming firmware. Much appreciated.

I am surprised it takes the developers over a year to release one firmware update. Most other routers out there get updates regularly every few months. It’s quite disappointing given how many major bugs these have.

Hi @R2223 

I've been advised that the new firmware is due to start rolling out around the beginning of August.

Thanks

Hi R2223

It's no problem 🙂  As soon as they confirm the official rollout date then I will post back here and let you know.

Hi R2223

I've been advised that new firmware for the Sagemcom hub should be available within the next 6 months (if not earlier)

They are working to release the new version ASAP.

Hi R2223

No problem 🙂

I'm sure there is new firmware coming soon, let me just check and I will post back shortly to confirm.

Thanks

[R2223]

Thank you for the quick reply Debbie. Can I also ask is there any update about a new firmware version for the Fast 5364?

It’s been over half a year since bugs (like being logged out when navigating the UI and not being able to re-enable a Wi-Fi band after turning it off) have been reported and no firmware resolving these has been released.

Hi R2223

Apologies, I've switched this off for you now.

I did feedback this back previously to request a feature so customers could switch this on/off themselves. I will pass on this feedback again, thank you.

Debbie
