Hi
I have recently connected to Vodafone broadband and I am using the Vodafone Connect router. So far I am impressed with the speed and quality of the router, but I cannot see my media server on my Xbox 360 any more. The NAS I am using is the Seagate Goflex Home. I have not had any problems with previous routers and I am sure I am missing the obvious in the set up. Any help would be gratefully recieved. Thanks in advance.

You will need a switch 8 port would be fine connect this to your VF router.
then connect the synology and tv etc to the switch
should work then. i had to do that with mine.
also Sky Q does not work with the app if i use an ethernet connection to the switch or router. only when my Sky Q box it is on wifi the app saw my sky q box.
another failing by VF. I have had to factory rest my VF router twice now because the speed went from 76Mbps to only 2.3 Mbps.

Thanks - that was my understanding too - lucky for me that I have one handy
If a MOD could contact me directly I know someone who works within Vodafone who they could liase with directly on this issue (and has the same issue) and is willing to help test new firmware updates.
Many thanks

I do wonder why VF appear to continually disregard the opinions and needs of their 'domestic' customers. Everything I sense from VF's responses to any issues are that they are just paying 'lip service' to their customers, with very little or no regard that we are in contract, for them to provide a service!!
Until I see a definitive statement and/or regular updates from VF on how they are progressing a resolution, I don't actually believe they are doing anything of any significance, just delaying in the hope that their customers may accept their 'less than acceptable services and products' and go away ... and I can hear VF now saying 'we only provide a broadband and home wifi service and issues with customer product capability is not their fault', which may well be the case, but the reality is VF have provided a product and service which is not 'fit for purpose' in the current marketplace.
On the contractual point, if the customer didn't comply, I'm sure VF would very quick and efficient in enforcing the terms and conditions of the contract and pursuing the customer to act responsibly or face the legal consequences, maybe they feel the customer doesn't have the same will to go down this route ... is this ignorance, arrogance or a calculated risk??
In my mind, I question the value in continually posting our frustrations on these forums and getting little or no satisfaction, maybe it would be better to consider what other actions might just get VF's attention!!
PS ... At the top of my post I emphasised the words 'domestic' customer. My reason for this is I am also a commercial customer of VF, who's company spends significant amounts of money per annum on their services, needless to say we have far less issues and much more attention paid to us ... for me that says it all!!

Class action against VF for their very poor rollout of the broadband to domestic customers

Where are you Vodafone?
Response would be great - I'm not being trapped after 14 days - respond.....
Where are the updates for the firmware issue?.....
Where is the promised DHCP follow up?....
Have you all been gagged and now can only direct people to the woefully lacking support phone number?
I'll give it until tomorrow for a response otherwise I'm cancelling - poor show Vodafone!

Hi, I just want to highlight that I don't think this is just a Media Streaming/DLNA issue. See my post on the other Vodafone Connect thread:
