Vodafone connect router firmware.

Asking this again as the last thread has been deleted for some reason.

In December we were promised a firmware update to address issues with streaming. To date no firmware has been issued despite a march update promising it was very imminent.

Can we please have an update on when we can realistically expect this update?

Please do not delete this thread!!!

December update notification:

Thanks for the update. It's a shame nobody at vodafone can be bothered providing this information officially.

 Touch wood so far so good...

I have just received a new router, and it's got the latest firmware version

5.4.8.1.271.1.59. However I cannot connect devices across from wifi to ethernet. Is this the same problem or a different one? It's bloody annoying.

I did hear about issues with this but I've not experienced the same issue and it seems to work fine for me, what are you connecting and what is going wrong?

[Jeztastic]

I have homeplugs going from the vodafone router. The homeplugs connect to my Windows 10 desktop, Raspberry Pi runing linux and a couple of squeezebox music players. Everything shows up in the router interface with properly assigned ip addresses.

However, I am unable to connect my (wifi) connected squeezebox to the (ethernet homeplug connected) Raspberry Pi. I am also unable to connect to the Raspberry Pi via SSH or the music server (via port 9000) from my android tablet (wifi).

However, when I connect the android tablet to the Homeplug wifi extender everything works fine.

The router "Overview" page shows the network in two parts, "Main Wifi" and "Network". Anything connected to the Homeplug wifi extender shows up on the "Network" side not the "Main Wifi" side. Seems like the two sides are not talking to each other, and it doen't seem quite the same issue, as I am just using SSH, I'm not trying to stream anything.

Hope this make sense.

Hi Jeztastic,

Ive had issues connecting to LAN devices from the 5ghz wifi band,

ive let tech support know and started my own thread, in the meantime try disabling thje 5ghz band of the main wifi and see if that helps.
