Didn't channels on 5ghz but I'll try , currently set on auto , do 5 ghz overlap each other like others do ?

Best advice I can give you is to get a HG635 on eBay. They're the older model but it is probably the best ISP supplied router I have ever used.

HG633 has a fair few wireless issues. Mines in a box.

Talktalk cannot supply them anymore as they are the router supplied around 1 year+ ago.

Just login at 192.168.1.1 and verify your connection uptime for me. It does not drop out during the drop outs right?

I will check this when that happens
TalkTalkCare their they had issues with 635 that's why they stopped sending it out , if I was to get a router , what kind of router I should get ? Fibre router ? Or just a regular router ?
Thanks for the reply

Just forget about Huawei hg63x and buy a half decent vdsl2 router such as the TP link VR900 for 120 notes. Problem solved.

Honestly mate my HG633 gets around a million errors on the wireless side in a few hours. Throughout for me is stuck around 60Mbps and 2.4Ghz often drops out. Talktalk forums are plagued with users complaining of wireless error build up on the HG633.

My HG635 gets 350Mbps on internal network transfers (that's more than 4x faster than the 80Mbps product). It has also not been rebooted in 2 months and has no issues.

It gets range where my HomeHub 5 cannot, in two back bedrooms, both routers are side by side.

It has better coverage in my home than the nethear nighthawk at £140.

I cannot recommend it enough. You can grab one on eBay for relatively cheap, probably less than £20 on auction and I think it'll solve the majority of your issues.

As I say Talktalk do not supply them anymore, but I have used all sky routers, the Virginmedia superhub, superhub 2 AC, superhub 3, HomeHub 4, 5, 5A, netgear nighthawk, TP Archer C9 AC router. The HG635 has proven to be the most stable router I have ever used to date, in my entire life. I would say it's the best ISP supplied device I have ever laid my eyes on.

The HG633 by contrast I would rate as the lowest, alongside the original Virginmedia superhub. It really was such a headache and since boxing it up my stress levels have dropped significantly.

It might be ok at ADSL2+ speeds but there is something seriously wrong with it. Interestingly all the reviews online ive seen for the Talktalk superhub are based on the HG635, not the 633.

Bite the bullet get a 635, seperate the 2.4 and 5Ghz bands and jobs a good one.

Just verify your line is not dropping before buying as I suggested. smile

Just realised one of my mate has talktalk but not fibre optic , he owns a hg635 , I'm gonna try to swap it with mine , do I need to put my talktalk username and password anywhere in his router ? Or just plug and play?

Plug and play, but honestly nobody deserves a HG633 being swapped out for their 635. Be a nice guy and let him keep it.

Worth mentioning, HG635 were only ever supplied with fibre optic so it seems unlikely, he probably has a HG533.

Haha you're right no one deserves that smile
I guess you're right about the model because he doesn't have fibre optic , I just assumed that was it because the design looks like the 635
Thanks for your advices smile
