but now the dashboard is saying "7.59 - Version up to date" (for 7530 non AX)

The dashboard on my 7530 states "7.59 - Version up to date" but a check for the latest version returns with messages telling me that an update to v8.0 is available.

My 7530 is over 5 years old and is connected to FTTP fed from an OTP via ethernet to port 1. Much as I'd like to update to v8 0, I'm not going to chance it! ...(yet)

Can anyone confirm that a 7530 running an FTTP service appears to be ok with V8? It looks like all the reports on here so far are with VDSL. It may be that the reduced load with VDSL disabled circumvents the problem with the 7530.

I too would very much like to know the answer to this question, is V8 safe with an old 7530 connecting via FTTP?
Anybody happily running their 7530 with V8 using FTTP?
I notice that I have just received a message saying V8 is now available so it would seem that the update has not been paused and it would seem that I have disabled auto updates and pushed updates just in the nick of time.

Mine has been running V9/.0 on FTTP for 5 days with no issues so it may well just be an issue with the DSL modem side.
IPv6 is enabled and working fine as well.

Thanks for that info, I will give it a bit longer to see if there are any other comments about V8 with FTTP then risk it. I wish there was a way to roll back the update if there are problems.

Can I ask where V9 is available from?

Updated....dammit...same thing happened here and, of course, we can't rollback due to that bug in v8.0

you're saying the problem also affects the AX model?

No, it's running perfectly on v8 I was referring to the fact that I'd missed disabling one of the backdoors and so it had upgraded itself to v8....which I didn't want to happen until I wanted it to.

Given that there appear to be no other reports on 7530 update issues on the German and Australian forums plus the fact that the issues seems to be pointing towards the built in modem, I would attempt 2 things:

1. A complete factory reset.

2. Manual reconfiguration of the modem: log in etc.

If people want to isolate the issue, then one way of testing is to WAN connect the Fritz!Box to another modem. If the Fritz!Box continues to experience drop outs/re-boots then the issue is not related to the modem.

This will seem obvious to many but WiFi dropouts are not the same as a complete Fritz!Box reboot. I have had wifi issues in the past when running beta/labor software on the 7490; 7590 and the 4060.

Obviously a typo- fat fingers , small screen and failing eyesight.

A report of a 7530ax problem on a German forum in this thread

I used Google translate within the Chrome browser.

The Vodafone Germany forums are showing various issues with other models after update.

Most of the users appear to have been able to roll back to the previous version loaded.
