Probably best to go for the last one _webgui Agreed.
Would feel lost without that firmware!
The indispensable man or woman passes from the scene, and what happens next is more or less the same thing as was happening before.

I have 2 laptops and when I do a side by side speed test they I get quite different results.
When you say "side by side" do you mean at the same time? If so then this is a bad way to run a speed test as both machines are vying for bandwidth and the results will be quite random. When doing a speed test you need to make sure nothing else is doing anything on the network - any devices doing any sort of downloading or uploading will affect the results to a greater or lesser extent.

Cough, TalkTalk supply an all in one Huawei router with Wi-Fi, NOT the HG612 which is what that firmware hack is for.

There is our speed test they can run which is less littered with banner ads at http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest or if really adverse to adverts they can use http://labs.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest (same test but with no extra page content)

Doh!
They've done the all in ones for so long did not think they had many left with the OR stuff.
The 533 is just an 802.11n device (I believe) so Wi-Fi is going to be a very likely cause for problems, rather than the more recent dual band units.

The 533 is actually B, G & N so potentially up to 300Mbps (I did say potentially). Whether or not the TT device has inhibitors in their firmware - no idea.

The modem is HUAWEI HG533 sitting on top of an openreach modem for the Fibre optic service. When you say "on top of", do you mean physically? I originally took you to mean "connected to".
If physically, that's a bad idea as it could cause either to overheat, particularly the Openreach modem. Ultimately it could fail.
