WiFi R205

[Watugi]

Hi All

I've just got one of these devices as I work on a ship and I'm away for long periods and it allows me to keep in touch with the family.

It works really well. However one massive disappointment is the fact that if you press the power button twice the unit displays the SSID and the passcode !!!!!

Needless to say, people have been helping themselves to my wifi connection.

It seems the only way to stop them doing this is to use MAC selective connection - that way only devices I authorise will be allowed to connect. However I've tried several times to add my laptop and my phone, but the software just says "loading" but nothing happens and the screen just starts back where it started.

Is this a known fault ?

I go away again on Wednesday and really want this resolved before I go so that my data doesnt get eaten up by unwelcome guests !!!

Guys, thanks for your help, I have received the Update from Vodafone and yes this solves the Mac Filtering issue and indeed lets you add a NAT rule however NAT doesnt work as I had expected thankfully our account manager has logged a ticket with the correct support team and they are looking into whether they can help me with a possible solution.

Even if this doesnt work in the end I have to say Vodafone have been incredibly helpful and I have been amazed at the level of support i am receiving so thanks again.

I got a reply about the update but the link just sends me to the Vodafone gobal site and if i search R205 Firmware

i get this

http://www.business.vodafone.com/site/bus/public/enuk/support/10_productsupport/wi_fi_devices/r205/f...

if i click on the click about firmware i get 404 error page not found

also replied to the email but haven't got a reply that was 4 days ago now

Yes, you are correct this link doesnt work, the Vodafone team tried this with me but again I got page 404. In the end they sent me a link to an FTP site that is only available for a limited time, I would suggest your tech guy does the same.

Vodafone have their reasons I suppose but I really dont know why the new firmware isnt made available on the Global website, there is obviously a bug in 3.8.
