Unable to connect to vpn

[Horsey_chick]

I am unable to connect to my work VPN and my IT department have confirmed the issue is with talktalk. Having chatted to numerous help agents, noone has been able to fix it! I need to be able to work from home so about to switch Internet providers. Is there any way of fixing this before I do?

Hi Horsey_chick

I have also sent you a Private Message with a short survey.

Thanks

Hi Horsey_chick

Ok I will start the update now and post back as soon as it's completed.

[Horsey_chick]

@Debbie-TalkTalk yes please update it as soon as you are able to. I'm not using it for work at the moment. Thanks

Hi Horsey_chick

Thanks for your reply.

You don't need to reboot the router. I can update the FW for you anytime.

Are you using the connection at the moment (for work)

[Horsey_chick]

Thanks Debbie, that would be great. I can reboot this afternoon around 4:45 or any time tomorrow.

Hi Horsey_chick

Apologies for this.

I will need to make a change to your router firmware, when would be the best time to do this?

We advise to leave the router switched on without being rebooted whilst we update the FW. This should take no longer than 15 minutes to update.

Thanks

@Horsey_chick It could be an issue with your router, which make/model/firmware version do you have?

If you would like the support team here to look into this for you make sure that your personal details including TalkTalk landline number and/or account number are complete on your community profile (click here) so that they can link your forum identity with your account and then wait for them to respond, but bear in mind it won't be until Monday at the earliest.

Hi I have edited my post to say that I would like to resolve the problem if possible so that I don't have to switch. Are you able to help at all?
