What firmware are folks currently on or rather what date does it say it was last updated?

I'm having an issue where browsing around the GUI causes the wireless to drop or potential crash the router and cause reboot.

The latest firmware is SG4B100021EC - I gather (some?) Smart Hubs are being shipped with an older version SG4B100021D0 which is then updated.

I think the 21EC version is dated mid-May and does have some known bugs which BT are working on.

When mine updated to the newest firmware I had to do a factory reset for it to properly configure, after I did it I saw changes that didn't happen after the update.

Presumably we've all got a Type A manufactured by Sagemcom.

Well the wireless on this new hub isn't working to well... It's seems to keep dropping every few minutes and it's killing every bodies tablet and phone batteries....

I've been in from work for 2 hours and lost 40% battery due to wifi issues... and another android device in the house has been getting very hot and losing by battery at a similar rate.

Not quite sure what to do... Might have seek f a reset helps...

Split the 2G and 5G up? Turned off smart setup?

[Moderator correction of typo.]

[mlmclaren]

Yes, turned smart setup off and Thursday night, I've just split the networks and seem to have found that 2.4Ghz is the problem....

I've been monitoring the signal using Acrylic WiFi and inSSIDer software and it shows random drops in the wifi signal, I've tried re-scanning for a new channel and also set the channel manually myself too but not made any difference...

[mlmclaren]

I hope BT's going to be pushing some firmware this week, my new hub is so unreliable...

The WiFi issues can be dealt with but the hub crashing and restarting and then getting stuck on boot is annoying.

[Geekofbroadband]

Mines been stable

[mlmclaren]

Would you mind using some software such as Acrylic to show how many networks their are broadcasting locally to your hub...

I'm wondering if mine is struggling with monitoring the number of networks in the area.

[Geekofbroadband]

Like this?

[Geekofbroadband]

I see the 2G is very unstable but i dont use it

[mlmclaren]

Perfect thanks, so your 2G wifi isn't great either...

Seems to be a bug for many if not all at the moment though many may not notice it...

I'm going to keep an eye on the hub and see how it copes... I think one of my issues currently will be the 2G network still being pretty busy for devices as I've yet to transfer 5G devices onto the new SSID whcih I setup when separating the bands...

If it wasn't for the 2G only devices the others in my household have, I wouldn't have 2G enabled at all...

I've already got the Access Point for when I move out sitting in front of me which will be perfect... ( Asus EA-AC87 ) 5G Only!... maybe even uses channels above 48... 

Thanks again
