Hi,
I've been Vodafone Broadband (fibre) user for most of this year and I've had no problems with any of the service until about 2 months ago. Every now and then, for whatever reason - Vodafone seem to restricted/block access to services randomly.
I play Final Fantasy Online, it works fine for awhile, then it can't check for patches/load the launcher. I check multiple devices (as I have a laptop and desktop PC) and both are in the same state on Vodafone broadband. If i access my hotspot, it works fine. If I factory reset the Vodafone router, it again starts working fine, then after around a month or so, it happens again.
So far my list of services which get effected are:
- Final Fantasy Online Launcher + Game
- Steam (Occasionally)
- Ubisoft Connect
The action each time one is discovered is to factory reset the Vodafone router from within the routers configuration screen, which is a pain because it means my Ring doorbell then disconnects and its a faff to get it back working.
I've updated my DNS Servers to use Cloudflare and Google, I don't think it helps that I've had outtages (twice in the past 3 weeks) because Vodafone's WAN DHCP server seems to be exhausted of addresses, everything on my circuit is fine apart from the router can't get a WAN IPv4 address, which then means I have to wait for a 2nd line engineer to come online and clear it down/sort it.
My router is a Vox3.0v and Firmware version: 19.4.0551-3261103. I've tried doing a Firmware upgrade within the router GUI, but that always fails. The firewall on the router is turned off, however the log seems to still have firewall events in it.
