Is it possible to disable remote access in Hub Zero settings? I've been able to do this on most of my previous routers.
Fixed! Go to the fix.

The hub zero is very basic and the user has minimal access to settings. Plusnet are able to update firmware remotely. If you have other routers have you considered using one of these instead, the performance is unlikely to be any worse. You will find how to set up third party routers here: https://www.plus.net/help/broadband/broadband-connection-settings/

Thanks for the help. Not what I wanted to hear but if remote access can't be disabled then there's nothing that can be done so I'll have to mark this as fixed

Hi there.
In addition to Bob's response if you would like to remove your router from the management platform, you can do that yourself by going here.
Hope this helps.

What do you mean by 'remote access'? The device is not accessible to 'the Internet' as such, but we are able to remotely manage it. If you don't want us to do this, we can remove you from our management platform but your router won't receive firmware updates etc. if we do, and won't auto provision itself in the event of a factory reset.
If Plusnet can remotely manage the router then presumably they are doing it over the internet? I am sure that there are all sorts of security measures in place but surely some form of back door access exists? Plusnet not using it is different to locking it off at the router.

You're right though, removing the device is not strictly the same as blocking the port entirely. If it's the latter you're after, then you're out of luck with the firmware build provided with the device I'm afraid.

This link just replies to an autologin option. how can one take the router off the automatic firmware update schedule ?
The last FW update has caused real problems with my router, and i have a spare but I don't want that auto updating .
thanks

Hi @d8smt
Thanks for getting in touch.
The link provided by @SpendLessTime is worth a shot, although it may just stop the router calling in for the correct username and password rather than any firmware updates.
@bobpullen - Do you have any insight into this?
Best wishes
Dave

Unfortunately, all this seemed to do was to hose all connections to the internet other than to the plusnet website. Couldn't reach any site except www.plus.net. Changed it back now & reimaged the router.
Could a port block on the maintenance channel prevent this? If so, which port is used for maintenance?

I suspect when you removed the device from the management platform, the default username was pushed to it (setup@plusdsl.net). This will have resulted in the symptoms you describe.
Just read your other thread with interest (will reply over there too).
The management port for the Hub One is 7547, however I doubt you'll have much luck overwriting it with a NAT rule.
Edit: scrap that, I think the port is actually 4567.
