HI Debbie,

Sorry to bother you again - just to confirm, a replacement router is it a SAGECOM model?

Many thanks

Hi mzukis

If you could return it within two weeks after receiving the new one that would be great.

Thanks again 🙂

HI Debbie,

This is great. Many thanks. What is the ETA for returning the old router? I just want to make sure i have enough time to trial the replacement to make sure it is performing as good as the current one i have.

HI mzukis

There is no charge for this router. I have also ordered you a pre paid returns bag for your old router.

Thanks

Debbie

Hi Debbie,

This is super!, but:

1. Is this chargeable

2. What should i do with the current router if replacement router resolves the issue?

Many thanks

No, you won't be able to forward that & some other ports on the DG8041W.

I have asked one of TalkTalk's support to pick your thread up and exchange it for a different model.
