It appears the B618 interface is mostly hidden. Perhaps this is an oversight?

Hi there - not as of yet - it was raised with the vendor. I'll follow up to see if a fix could be included in a future software release.

That would be greatly appreciated.

I knew there were features missing! Seemed extremely basic but I thought it was dumbed down on purpose

Hi,

 

Just wondering if there's any outcome with discussion with Huawei about this? Or has it all gone silent?

Thanks for the follow ups reminders - I will enquire again (this is a low priority thing, hence why updates have been rather sparse…).

I'd hazard a guess this is almost certainly a deliberate decision on Spark (Skinny) part. Modern routers typically include an Advanced mode to avoid these kinds of issues, however it seems the B618 doesn't have this.

Update : After discussing with the device/product team as well as the vendor, the hidden elements are expected (to be hidden) as per our UI requirements. As stated by others, this is driven through a need to have a simplified interface that covers the majority of use cases. I have also personally had a look myself and I can see the vast majority of users being happy with the standard configuration options.

 

I hope this helps clarifies things.

I see.... so they've been nerfed.  ;)  

 

 

 

Thanks for following up on this though appreciated (really).
