Recently, I was having problems with WiFi connectivity. I switched on Band Steering and Airtime Fairness (I have a HG633 router), and these problems seem to have disappeared. No more disconnections and wireless connectivity seems to have improved.    Why don't TalkTalk switch on these settings automatically on all routers? Could this be implemented with a firmware update?   A customer could always switch them off if they want through the routers settings.   This is just a suggestion. Let me know what you think. I know everyone's circumstances and environments are different. What worked for me, may not work for someone else.  ... View more

I have been a loyal TalkTalk customer for over 12 years and I have been generally happy with the service I have received. However, I was recently incensed to discover a £4 charge for 'TalkTalk TV' added to my February bill. Not only was this charge unjustified, as an inspection of my account would have revealed that I have never availed myself of TalkTalk TV services while on my current contract, but also contrary to the terms of that contract for 'Faster Fibre' which clearly states that the price is fixed for the entire length of the contract. After a lengthy phone call to TalkTalk's customer services call centre, in which I pointed out these facts to the TalkTalk representative, the £4 charge has been removed from my monthly bill. How many others, I wonder, have been hit by this grossly unfair 'stealth' charge simply for being TalkTalk broadband customers, regardless of whether they use the TalkTalk TV service or not? It made me ponder the other ways that loyal TalkTalk customers are penalized. For example, TalkTalk is currently advertising 'Faster Fibre' 18-month contracts for £19.95 per month in the press and £25 per month (sale price) on their website for new customers, whereas I have to pay £27.50 per month until my current contract runs out in June 2020. Loyalty is certainly not rewarded at TalkTalk. ... View more

I know that you can receive this information by contacting TalkTalk and you probably do when your contract is nearing its end, but wouldn't it be easier if you could view when your contract ends on My Account?    Not that i'm thinking about leaving TalkTalk anyway 😉 . Latest update - Contract end dates are now visible in MyAccount, for more information check out our guide -  When does my contract end?   ... View more

Homesafe doesn't address a major issue for parents - ensuring our children get a good night's sleep.   I have moved to talktalk from another provider where I used my own netgear wifi router (plugged into their modem) which gave me parental control facilities. This allowed me to block all wifi between scheduled times (say 9.30pm to 8am) every day on specific devices. Other devices (such as adults' phones) were not blocked.   It is important that this allowed blocking across midnight, unlike homesafe, and also unlike homesafe, all wifi, not just chosen websites (which leaves loads of apps still available like the xbox app) was blocked.   Given that individual devices can be seen by the superhub router talktalk provide, this should be a relatively simple to incorporate, and could be added to the admin functionality of the superhub.   Thousands of parents would thank you!)   (I would happily continue to use my netgear router (as I had intended to do) but it does not have a adsl socket, and when plugged into the superhub ethernet socket I can no longer access the admin settings as it has the same IP address 192.168.1.1 as the superhub, With last provider the modem had a differnet ip address (192.168.1.0) so this was not an issue.) ...

Hi would be good or better if the ads where do like on other site on the page not as like slow pop ups which cause the pages on the site to load longer.   Why have them that way and why also are we able to hit a cross to get rid of them when loaded why have it when u can close them.     As even when the change it takes time to do it load the next one.   need looking at as not helping us users on the thead pages and on the site in normal.   Would be ok if they where on the page to the side but pop up on SLOW THE PAGE LOADING DOWN    which is not helping people get the info from the site or get us to help people. ...

It would be great if we could enable a Guest Network via the Super Routers (HG633/D-Link3782) or the Wi-Fi Hub. This would be good for people who don't want to hand out their Wi-Fi password and enable guests to connect to their network when they need to. I don't know if any of your routers support this, but it would be amazing if this could be implemented. I know that i would definitely use this feature if it was available and so would many others.   Thanks. ... View more

I think it would be appropriate if we had an option for deleting all incoming advertisments which TalkTalk has deemed to be part-and-parcel with the upgraded TalkTalk Email service. 'Especially' as they are all betting establishment advertisers! ... View more

The ideas simple.   a 2nd section to the MyTalkTlak app   Section 2 Router control.   In section 2 you have full access to control perental controls, to dissable and enable settings for brosing and also firewall control. Along with the ability to enable and disable scam protection than having to phone or create threads.  ... View more

device control on router really needs to be implemented i dont know if you are aware of how difficult it is to get a child off a console or prevent them sneaking on it in the middle of the night most other routers allow you to specify a time when a device can be online or off line ive seen the homework settings but they are useless really as they turn all devices off which isnt really any good as other people need to use the internet at these times ...

The provided WiFi Router implements a very restricted DHCP service as follows:   1. It cannot be disabled (this means that I cannot use another device on my home network as a DHCP server)   2. It does not allow addresses to be reserved for networked devices based on their MAC Address.   3. As a result of points #1 and #2 the Port Forwarding provided is strictly limited to devices that are always switched on or are manually configured to have a static address which is outside of the DHCP range.   My suggestion is to update routers to provide a 'more complete' DHCP service that addresses the above limitations.   Thank you ...

Could there be a page that states the latest firmware of the Super Routers (HG633 & D-Link 3782). This would make it easier to know whether we have the latest firmware and any problems associated with that firmware, instead of searching the forums, which don't really state anything. ... View more

For users like me how about providing us with a modem only.  When I originally upgraded to fibre broadband TT supplied me an HG633 router which I put into bridge mode.  Now I've upgraded to the latest fibre and along comes a new router, the Sagemcom.  However I can't find a way of putting it into bridge mode and, in any case, all I want is a modem as I have my own router behind the modem. So, TT have supplied with a device which is listed at £120, which I can't use and I very much doubt I could get that £120 as a discount if I returned the device. I am probably not alone in only needing a modem so why not allow for that by providing it as an option. ... View more

Please add parental controls to the new Wifi Hub, very disapointed these are not available as I found them more useful than homesafe at blocked web access at certain times , especially when savvy chicldren can remove the app of their devices by resetting them!   It worked perfectly on the router parental controls and for a little time and effort setting them up it was very useful. ...

Approx 11.25 a.m. from 01289 234980:  Recording telling me my "internet line" would be disconnected from today and to press 1 for something or other, 2 to disconnect the line.  Hung up, blocked the no. then came on here to report it; just for a change it does not register when I do this so had to waste 30 mins on online chat to report it.  Now trying for the 5th time to prove to PAULINE this link does not work unless I register with the "community" and log in. What a waste of time just trying to do the right thing!  Why should I have to do "social media" just to report a scam call? ...
