I had a 45-minute live chat with someone from Zen a couple of hours ago and as a result had the firmware of my rebooting (loan unit) 7530 remotely upgraded to version 8.00-116644M TEST which so far has stopped the reboots. According to him they only received this build from AVM this morning and are doing a very limited rollout as a test. They're going to call me tomorrow to see how it has been behaving.

Fingers crossed.

Out of curiosity...is your 7530 v1 or v2 (indicated with Typ B bottom RH corner of the label underneath).

Both units (mine and the temporary loan) are v1.

Just to add, also had custom firmware installed via Zen live chat - have everything crossed it resolves issue.

My 7530 is a type A running v8.00, on an FTTC connection directly into the BT test socket, and I have had no problems since the firmware update was performed.

AVM have just sent me the new version 8 too,

"We have addressed the restart problem in the firmware and hope that this firmware will resolve it. Therefore, we are very interested in your feedback from your setup."

I've no device to test it on now as mines gone back to Zen.

My last chat with Zen was about 2 hours before you on Tuesday! Can I ask - How is your router behaving now?

They told me that they had sent off a report to the manufacturer and said someone would call me yesterday to see how things are going - but they didn’t call.

Anyway mine continues to drop out so I will have to contact Zen today to chase - again.

Doubly annoying that my event log only shows the current session so I haven’t got a clue what is going on.

They've called me yesterday - it took about full 3 days of communication but I can confirm that FRITZ!OS v8.00-116644M TEST from their lab has fixed the problem.

Many thanks to NewMoon for the recovery instructions. I tried them this morning and managed to get back to a working version of f/w 7.59 with a saved configuration. I didn't need to set 10Mb/s half-duplex but it did fail until I did the ftp commands to de-Zenify the router's env variables.

I can't attribute my problems to Zen because I 'upgraded' to 8.0 myself. Lesson learned there!

Much obliged to you.
