We were getting off topic in another thread, so started this one...

HuaweiNZ, is it possible for you to talk to VodafoneNZ and resolve the firmware issues many of us have had with the HG659 from Vodafone ?

* Settings not holding (especially after a reboot) - DNS is my biggest issue, always having to change it. 
* Port 80 being open to public (and displaying things such as my firmware version, Wifi SSID and how many devices are connected)
* Removal of "hidden" logins to the unit - remote support is something we should be able to turn on/off.
* Poor wifi connectivity - devices connect to the wifi but get no internet traffic. 

And others probably have more....

Ive been to Vodafone with these issues and keep getting told Im the only one reporting it...yet their own forums have others with similar issues. 
Their solution for me was to send me another unit - exact same issues.

Flashing with the Spark firmware seems to resolve a lot of these issues.

Thanks :)
