Jaxson: Huh?

This is a wifi dropout issue many users are reporting with this modem.

I have a splitter installed.

This thread is not about Wi-Fi

:p

Ok guys got the hg659 to unbrick but I could only get it to work using telecoms firmware NOT Vodafone. This still does not allow internet but allowed me to access the router as an admin.

Now

Every time I try to do a firmware update with vodafones firmware I get a "system upgrading...please wait" icon for an hour and Both LAN and Power lights are on but nothing happens ☠️☠️☠️☠️ Ideas? I tried looking for an older firmware but to no avail.

All lights flashing on Telecoms firmware but dead internet light

Any Telecom branded firmware would be pretty old now. Tried either Spark or Bigpipe firmware?

I would say guessing the actual hardware could be faulty!
