I have Full Fibre 75 with a Sagemcom FAST 5464 Router. When I first received my HUB2 router, I had a problem with multiple devices randomly disconnecting from the internet. This was solved when TT disabled the WiFi Optimisation Feature, and since then I've had perfect WiFi connectivity on all my devices. But the problem has now returned. My router firmware has recently upgraded itself to version SG4K-100206. Will this have re-enabled WiFi Optimisation and its problematic behaviour? I know WiFi Optimisation can no longer be disabled, but just want to know if it likely to be the cause of my connectivity problems returning. Re-starting the router does clear the problem for a while and I have minimal WiFi interference in my home so don't think interference has any bearing on this one.

It's up to you @rgbargey the others all affect wired & wireless connections, yours is WiFi only as you mentioned WiFi Optimisation. If you'd rather wait to see the outcome of the others, that is fine.

Hi Keith, Thanks for you offer of help. I'd be happy to go along with what you suggest, to confirm or rule out interference as the cause of the problem. But there does seem to be an unusually high number of customers reporting the "connected, no internet" problem recently, which makes me suspect firmware, but I won't mind being proved wrong.

I will try & help, but this thread is already getting hijacked by some regular spammers and I will ignore any posts they make on this thread.
Hi @rgbargey
I cannot confirm if the upgrade to this current firmware re-enabled WiFi Optimisation or not. That was something that was impossible for me to test when I did this for TalkTalk. Normally it is only performing a Factory Reset that enables WiFi Optimisation. However, purely as a guess, it would not surprise me if the update does re-enable this feature, given that TalkTalk is no longer allowed to disable it.
All I can suggest is that I analyse your WiFi network for you, I suspect the interference has got worse, otherwise, you would not be suffering these new dropouts. I have found with the independent analysis that I do, there have been quite a few other reasons for this poor reception & it was not the fault of the optimisation. Mind you, if I do prove that it is the cause of the problem, then I make that very clear to TalkTalk in a report I give them.
If you want my help, then please let me know.

"Shut them down" sounds like the guy is a couple of sandwiches short of a picknick.
