What! I had been hoping something better, as my ex JL Zyxel was far superior.-:c seems on the blink

have there been any firmware updates. and how can I know what version I have?

There is a firmware update being rolled out - .283.1.1 I understand, but as I have never used that router, I can't be 100% sure where it is mentioned - probably on the 'Help Desk' page, I would imagine.

@Luzern

Is it Zyxel that's on the blink? If not, you can probably use it on PlusNet. Settings are shown in the PlusNet Help pages.

Rumours have it PlusNet will start using a new router later this year - at the same time they roll out a FTTP service. Probably will be a re-badged BT SmartHub one or two. However, until there's any announcement it is only rumour.

@bmc ZYxel is giving grief, but I've seen something about one of the warnings on the windows trouble-shooter, so Imsy play with it to see if I can get it working,
