I don't know how many TalkTalk broadband customers have the Huawei HG633 router but, judjing by the volume of comments on this forum, they must all be experiencing the continuous wifi dropouts that are driving me nutty. I have tried all the suggestions like separately identifying the 2.4 and 5 bands, experimenting with different channels etc. but nothing makes any difference. 40+ yeards working in the IT industry has shown me that these problems are often down to configuration issues like timers, but this router has been designed to be "idiot proof" so we can't even see the configuration settings, let alone change them. So I have some questions:
1. Are TalkTalk engaging with Huawei to solve the issues with this router? Do they even care?
2. I am currently on firmware v1.21t. Will the latest release be any better?
3. Do others have recommendations for replacement routers as I am seriously considering shelling out on an alternative that I can understand and control.
That's it, rant finished, over to you TalkTalk.
