PROBLEMS WITH HUAWEI HG-633 ROUTER

[Mugatu72]

Hi,

Having problems recently with Huawei HG-633 Router. Coverage seems to have weakened significantly in last year? Can’t get ant wi-fi coverage in the upstairs bedrooms, and the router is in the place/position it always has been? Also drops out quite a bit, and needs rebooting often!

Also, phone and iPad complain about weak security WPA/WPA2 (TKIP) is not considered secure? Sorry, not very techy… but is this down to the router being old tech?

Hi @Mugatu72 

The router is on its way, please allow 24-48hrs for this to arrive.

Let us know how the connection compares with this router.

Thanks

Hi Mugatu72,

Thanks for your post. We can send a replacement router (Wifi Hub) to see how this compares. Would this be ok?

Thanks

Michelle

Thanks for starting your own topic. You should use WPA2 AES where possible. As I mentioned previously, the support team will pick this up when they are back online next week.
