    My personal weapon of choice is TP-Links Powerline Adaptors. Using wireless extenders to boost the range of an already depreciated wireless signal isn't the most reliable. It only takes one part of the chain to suffer issues and the devices at the far end lose connectivity, lose packets of...

    A lot of routers will use the 'TR069' feature to dial home and it's possible SSE Firmware is somehow resetting the information. With most suppliers, if you factory reset the router, it will default back to whatever is configured in the firmware. By updating the firmware you should be able to...

    I can confirm this answer is accurate. The assistance automatically switches off about every 20 minutes. I must admit I haven't tried creating a port map to see if it works: e.g. Source IP: (your WAN IP) Port: (12345 - Pick a non-default port) Destination: 192.168.1.1 Port: 80 I don't have...

    Hi, (response to multiple questions) The Remote Assistance feature disables after about 20 or 30 minutes and unfortunately I don't know of a way to prevent this. It may be possible when using a Firmware version which allows full access to UCI System. You can then export the configuration in...

    Hi all, The firmware is managed and provided by the supplier which is why it's so difficult to find it online. Technicolor themselves do not provide a factory default firmware unfortunately. There isn't a huge amount of difference between 15.4 and 16.2 and even 16.3. The latter versions are...

    The two routers look completely different so should be easy to identify. The TG589vac is white with a black top. The TG589vac_v2 is a little uglier in that it's all white. It should therefore come with Firmware 16.* as per the sample I have here? NickDJ

    Decision time: LG OLED55B6V vs Sony Bravia 55XD9305

    I have a similar choice. I have 40" Samsung 6700 series which I've been very happy with in my bedroom but the OLED screen is extremely tempting for the living room. My understanding is OLED has less motion blur even if it has slightly more lag? I'm seriously thinking of the KS7000 as review...

    Thomson TG389ac as NAS?

    Good morning, I have a Techicolor TG389ac attached to my Virgin Router which I have set to 'modem-mode'. This basically means the TG389ac is working as it should and I can use all it's features. I have a USB flash drive connected to the USB port and a NAS drive connected via Ethernet...

    Yes I agree. Firmware versions 15.* are lacking some important features and the new version found on the Technicolor TG589vac_2 is much better. The firmware is actually developed by the supplier rather than Technicolor themselves so any updates would come from the supplier. Unfortunately they...

    Good afternoon, With Version 15.2 and below it is not possible to port forward a range. If you have version 16.1 and higher you can use a colon to separate the start and end port numbers (e.g. 5060:5070). I'm not usually on this forum, however, if anyone has any questions about this router...

    DJs 'Black n Red' Build - Any suggestions?

    Good afternoon, My first post (cheers!) My last PC build was way back in 2008 so now I have the money it's time for a significant upgrade. Whatever I get will be an improvement but I'm looking to get the best performance and overclock possible and be able to spend many hours tweaking...
