Hello, I have had one of the above since January 2022 and it has been pretty much bomb-proof together with delivering a measured throughput with Ookla, of 74/16 Mbps. F/w version is unchanged at 1.05t. WAN stats invariably show zero error packets. The router is still delivering it's expected performance though, since the change described has happened.
Recently, as some other members reported, though I can't locate their posts, the single steady white status LED is no longer visible, though sometimes it flickers briefly. Occasionally, in darkness, it reappears very dimly but soon disappears again.
If the router is rebooted, the LED goes through the normal colour change sequence at the usual brightness, but after the final white LED appears, it soon goes off again.
The router is set as per the default to have the LED on all the time.
I have backed up up the XML config file, done a factory reset, then restored the config but to no avail, the LED is still not visible most of the time.
OK its seems like a minor irritation, but given that its the only visual indication of router health, I do check it when I walk past the router.
In addition: I have had a few but not many, events of the router resetting itself owing to a kernel panic: e.g.
[Error][Alarm-Log] AlarmID:104001,AlarmLevel:Error,Device reset. Cause: System reset due to kernel panic, Terminal:OTHER
Its also the case that I don't know if this is the precursor of issues developing with this hitherto very good router. I take it that there are no firmware updates which address this issue, otherwise you would have already pushed them out by now?
As a former supercomputer system manager, I much prefer devices with lots of status lights, but my wife does not, and thinks that the TalkTalk router is both stylish & unobtrusive...
Any suggestions please?
Les
