Just a warning for others. I have spent a week trying to get homegroup to work via the Vodafone Connect router. I have uninstalled my firewall and AV. I have done a complete clean install of windows on both machines. I can easily create a homegroup on either machine but neither sees the other via homegroup through this router. The clincher is I have my old sky router and another netgear one and they both run homegroup with ease.
It seems homegroup requires IPv6 and this router can't do that, at least every test site on the web says so. So much for future proof technology...
I have tried fiddling with different settings in the router and tried to factory reset the router. 35 minutes with vodafone technical support told me that they don't see it as issue as I can surf the web.
If anyone has managed to get homegroup to work please tell me how, otherwise be warned and have a nice day!

At the moment we don’t currently support IPv6.
Take a look on our Vodafone Broadband page for more info on this.
