Hello, I plugged my 500GB Hard Drive into the USB port but I cannot see it on the panel at 192.168.1.1

Yes, it was working yesterday when I was using my previous Vodafone Router...

Did you turn on hard drive sharing in the router menu? It is off by default

Solved: I had to connect the power to the external Hard Drive

I'm having a few issues with my Huawei hg659 since I've upgraded from VDSL to fibre.
Constantly throughout the evening the WiFi is either dropping or lagging considerably. Work around at the moment which works is to turn WiFi off and then on using my device and it comes back to life, or simply using my 3G data also works better mostly.

I queried about getting Ultra Hub when I re-signed but was told I wouldn't get one as my current modem should support fibre.

I've tried the following:
Renamed SSIDs
Had separate SSIDs for 2.4 & 5
Changed Passwords
Changed Channels
I don't connect over Ethernet so better WiFi connectivity is what I'm really wanting.

I looks to me that the Parental Control only applies to wired devises (LAN)

Is it possible to get a copy of the firmware development tools so I can extend the Parental Control to chromebooks (WiFi only)?

Many Thanks

It works on wired and wifi devices. I have it set up on both and it works.(firmware crf731)

I doubt you'll get tools to get into vodafone firmware.

Ours is staying in the box. With only 3 LAN connections, it's useless for our needs. We currently use all 4 of the LAN ports on our old hg659. This is a bit of a backward step on Vodafones part. Someone obviously didn't look at the spec.

I just got one of these modems. However I do have a few questions.

1) can you upload the firmware somewhere, I am running verison 17.1.7875-2461002-CRF731 however would be nice to have the firmware files.

2) I want to set this up for remote access, How can I setup access to this modem remotly as well as move it off port 80.

3) I can see there is an "Assistanace" Tab that can do what I want in question 2, however forces a unwanted password (hard to remember) and username on me and also forces port 55794, can this be ajusted to be changable?

Can you please suggest what program to use for speed limiting of individual devices? As this feature is not available anymore

- Settings and password -

Why does the modem reset password amd settings to default at random times??? Also restarting modem within login page resets password too?

Also noticed there are more than one users logged in? Two to three at times when it's just me???

What is the latest firmware version?  Mine is on 731.
