Hi @tash,
It's is good to hear that you're listening to our comments. Looking at the forum, the topic of not being able to fix the WiFi channel has been going on for a while. I am a fairly new Vodafone Broadband customer and I was surprised to find that the new router you shipped to me could not be fixed. Anyone living with me would hear me mutter about neighbours' routers that kept channel hopping and sitting between channels 1 and 6 or 6 and 11 - and now it's my router doing it to them!
It also seems from the chat on the forum is that the ability to fix the channel is a feature that a firmware update removed. I agree that it should be a feature reserved for advanced configuration - but to take the ability to control it away from advanced users does not seem like a forward step for a firmware update to take.
I look forward to seeing this ability restored to the browser interface in an imminent update.
Do you publish the schedule for firmware upgrades? If so where can I go to see it? Alternatvely, just give me an idea of when this feature will be made available.
Kind regards,
Richard.
PS. The router I used on a previous broadband supplier's connection provided WAN interface utilisation stats so there was no need to get every other device off the network before performing a wired speed test to check that the network was performing as expected. Right now I have too many devices and family members relying on the broadband to perform a representative speed test during the day. T
PPS. I also find that https://labs2.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest/ is far less CPU hungry that some other speed checking utilities.
https://labs2.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest/ seems to be preferable
