Hue Lights External Connection Not Working with VF Router

So I've recently moved to Vodafone from Sky, and apart from the WiFi being absolutley awful IMHO I cannot get the external connection into my Philips Hue Bridge working - was fine with Sky, no port forwarding, nothing. I've given it a static IP on the Vodafone router but no joy....

Anyone else with this issue?

@roundyuk this was a known issue with one particular Vodafone Router firmware version. I believe it's been fixed in a later version so I'm guessing you're router isn't up to date. I'd get in touch with Customer Service and ask them to push the latest firmware to your router.

For more info, the original thread for this is here

 

EDIT: Ignore me, doesn't look like it's fixed, people were getting their firmware downgraded to fix the issue, again customer services should be able to arrange this

@roundyuk I'm sorry to hear you're having no joy with trying to get this to work. 

I've sent your query off to our Broadband team and as soon as I hear back, I'll post an update on this thread 🙂
