Ive been using this version for a few weeks now with no problems, uptime of over 7 days before a resync I instigated.

However I have noticed a couple of crashes, that I cant explain, I think it may have been a P2P session that got a little out of hand and a PS3 streaming video.

Currently waiting migration to WBC so will see how it copes with ADSL2.

ADSL2+?

Totally different beastie from ADSL2.

I've been using this firmware (8.2.2.5) for about 9 months with a TG 585 v.7 with no problems whatsoever. Occassional drop -with immediate reconnection- has been seen; no apparent reason and always overnight.

Current 'uptime' 31 days 15 hours 12 minutes - roughly

Mine seems to last a couple of days then a drop. Seems to be working ok but I am getting over 4000 CRC errors per day and about 2300 HEC errors and about 200 errored seconds. Speeds and stability seem fine though so tempted to simply ignore them. I am on a 24mb 6db noise margin profile with Talktalk on ADSL2+. I could ask for my profile to be changed to 9db but not sure that I want to!

When I was using the official 6.2.29.2 version on this profile I was getting 38000 CRC errors in a day! so this is definately better.

What do you all think?

fyi this problem occurs with W7 too but fix is the same. Also ignore error at end of process that says can't reboot, just cancel the wizard, the software has in fact updated correctly.

I have the Speedtouch router through BE broadband. I have moved house and they upgraded my router and let me keep the old one.

My wireless to my desktop is a little week so wanted to use the old router as a wireless extender. I googled it and it seemed to do it, but when I tried to set it up I was missing the option. It seems that BE had disabled that feature.

A friend said I should be able to flash the firmware and have the box as it would be wthout any BE profile.

I am OK following instructions and have a basic understanding of it all.

Which firmware should I down load? (should I use one of the links in the thread)

Any guide or instructions on how to do this?

Thanks
Tom

If you over-write the Be firmware in the one connecting to the net you almost certainly will not be able to connect. So whatever you do, don't do that.

Did you change the default IP address of the old one?

I don't want to mess with the "live" one, I want to take the old router (so would disconnect the computer from the live one and work only on the old one)

I have not done anything to the old one yet. I am after instructions/guide/info on what I would need to be doing for this little project.

Thanks
Tom
