TalkTalk Router

[@hawcubites]

Thank you ever so much for your time explaining how to connect this router and all the extra information you've given us, much appreciated.

[@MrMichaelpaul45]

Thank you Fore showing this video and sharing this information much appreciated,I set my fiber hub up yesterday & so far so good,getting 37 down & 9.8 upload give or take,am quite happy with what I am getting now Compared to what I was getting before.16/17 down & only 1 GHz up :-).

[@markcunningham3891]

Thanks for making me understand how things are for the Talk Talk install of Fibre in the UK. I had the Asia mindset where you get fibre presented straight to your home so now i know it's going to be copper from the street boxes presented into the home in the usual rj11 wall port. thanks mate!

[@MrTechtalk]

Yes mate the service you get in Asia is called FTTP (Fibre to the premises) This is something they offer her in the UK but more common is FFTC (Fibre to the cabinet). Its the best of both worlds it offers a decent speed with the infrastructure already in place.

Very very good video. Nicely explained. Just switched to talk talk. An engineer is coming. What will I expect?

Just a quick question I live in a flat front room is 5metres long and where phone socket is it’s on the back wall furthest from the door then I got a kitchen which I have a long corridor upto the front door which is about 8 metres long then you turn left and 4 metres along is my bedroom, it’s solid walls would it worth me putting an access point in with an old router?

[@kieran96cfc50]

I signed up for talktalk 2 weeks ago and havent even received the router yet and they said there coming to install it tomorrow

[@luckyseven5098]

You arent wrong about the stand mate. Ive just been screaming at it trying to clip it back on. My advice is not to worry about it at all. Its cheaply made.

[@caeldevers]

Is it possible to plug in the router without a telephone socket - I want to use ethernet in my gaming PC but the room I intend to use it in doesn't have a telephone socket.

[@MrTechtalk]

I’m Sorry I don’t understand

[@alial-shaikhly873]

Thank you very much for this video. I received one of these a few weeks ago when i renewed. As I was setting it up, two things happened that scared me and I immediately disconnected it and went back to my old router. The first thing is I noticed in one of the menus of the router that the server location or something to that effect is in Wuhan China and that was then follow by my iPad Pro giving me a message doubting the authenticity of the device or the trustworthiness of the device. So from your experience, are these normal that can be changed? and did I overreact to them?

[@MrTechtalk]

Not going to lie i don’t know that’s an odd one it should all be based in the UK might be worth giving talktalk a call

[@ballykaur8310]

well explained mate i was kind of confused with routers and switches

[@fightermma]

Hello. I hope all is well with you. Im Desi too. I have a few people that I speak to in real life but no one I can really share my thoughts with that will actually care what I have to say. I am looking for friends and maybe more. People seem so despondent these days. They pay more attention to the online character of themselves they have created than talk to real people/people trying to chat to them online. I was wondering could we talk?

[@mickkitcher1273]

Hi, can you tell me the best frequency for the 2.4ghtz wireless spectrum to use? i think yours is in Auto?

[@rajkaur392]

If you live in a flat, would they comr up to post it in your door or would thry post it in thr whole flats post box.

[@officialsimonharris]

Hi my go live day was today, I have the same router as you and the 63mbps service but I am only connected at 53mbps. I switched from Vodafone and was getting the full 63mbps from them, do you think I can do anything to get it back to the full 63mbps or do you think that TalkTalk is just slower or throttles with some kind of configuration at the exchange? My ping was 7ms with Vodafone but it’s 14mbps with this TalkTalk router. I am FTTC, cabinet a couple of streets away. Thanks

[@billandrews6366]

I pay for 70 and am getting between 4 and 8

[@Sauron191]

We are changing from Vodafone to Talk Talk Faster fibre FTTC on the 7th and will be running WiFi and Ethernet via Powerline adaptors. I see you have a PS4, have you put it in the DMZ zone, also do you know how to port forward the router to the PS4 properly?? If so could you give me some instruction on how to do it properly? I have no idea what numbers go in the fields.

[@MrTechtalk]

You would have to google sadly I don’t have it anymore. You don’t normally have to port forward for PS4 I never did. I only port forwarded for my NAS

[@europeanworldenglishchampi3860]

I've just upgraded to this, they said speeds up to 39_40,mune asnt changed, still only getting 8,will it change?

[@thebrownie8474]

Yes just wait for it to settle in it will take some weeks or days

Thanks for this video, my TalkTalk router is on its way. But do we really need the Netgear spiel? And then you go off about Poweline... When I say your visit listed I thought it’s length was a bit long, now after watching it I know why. I just wanted to hear some information about my TalkTalk router to prepare me for what to expect. I appreciate you doing and putting your video on KZbin, but in future could you please keep to what people want to know and not spend ages on something completely peripheral to the main subject. 👍😊

[@pethuds]

Can you you help me how do I remove no longer used devices from this router

[@BLaZiNgSPEED89]

I'm interested in TalkTalk. But I am hesitant to join them as I heard that their new TalkTalk Wi-Fi Hub router reboots automatically to install firmware updates every once in a while! Can you confirm if this is indeed the case? Does the router reboot by itself to install latest firmware updates. Also does the router lose sync and reboot by itself? I am worried about Sagemcom as a brand. I've had problems in the past with a Sagemcom modem with Tiscali and in recent couple of months my Plusnet Sagemcom 2704N ADSL Router also seems to reboot by itself! I'm looking to join an FTTC provider for the first time this January when my Plusnet contract ends. I've never been with TalkTalk. Can I trust the latest Sagemcom router that it will not betray in the same way? And is the TalkTalk service as a provider reliable? No drop-outs?

[@thedarkartist4978]

BLaZiNgSPEED go with NOW broadband they are good, I used to have them,

[@BLaZiNgSPEED89]

@@thedarkartist4978 Unfortunately I already went with TalkTalk in February for £21.95 for 24 month contract for the top 80/20 package. And I can confirm the router not only reboots by itself for the firmware install, but it also reboots every 30 days! Yesterday it happened on the 30th day and it coincided with the 1:32pm reboot because that is the time when my router up-time became exactly 30 days yesterday and it was like that last time as well! I checked the Firmware version, it is still on TalkTalk Wi-Fi Hub version SG4K10002808t. If someone had bothered to respond to my question 3 months ago to tell me that, then I would never have joined TalkTalk! Now it seems the only way to fix the 30 day reboot is to buy an aftermarket router, but not sure if that is rational. At least I am paying only £21.95. NOW broadband put me off because their router had only 2 Ethernet ports instead of 4 and it was £30 a month.

[@kawasakiman8965]

Slightly confused fibre broadband but comes through copper line how’s that fibre?

[@MrTechtalk]

It’s fibre up to your local cabinet on the street then it uses the copper already there for the rest of the cabling.

[@Sauron191]

So on our ‘Go Live’ day can I hook up at 12am on that date?

[@MrTechtalk]

It all depends what they need to do. Sometimes it requires open reach having to go to the local green cab and jumper your connection. It’s difficult to say

[@professormoriarty3005]

Login 192.168.1.1 and go into firewall it is disabled as default for some crazy reason. Options are: None default, Medium and High, and Custom settings.

[@ballykaur8310]

why do you need a switch when you already have ports at the back of your router. you can use those ports as a switch.

[@zx50]

Because from what I can see, there's only four LAN sockets on the back of the router. The switch has five sockets together used up and one to the left used.

[@danielgosling2759]

I have this router now they said it’s a better dual router so shouldn’t struggle with multiple devices streaming connected , I do a speed test and it says my speed is good and can stream multiple hd things at the same time no problem , but lags when I play games online and cuts out completely for some reason ???? I have switched back to my old router over 2 years old no problems now even though the speed test says the old router has only a typical connection ?

[@MrTechtalk]

Hi Daniel, For online gaming I always recommend an ethernet connection to free up bandwidth on the Wireless as gaming is very Taxing with constant traffic.

[@seamonkey000001]

I thought the whole point of living in 2019 was that NO wires and boxes were needed. I get almost identical speeds with wireless. No eyesore boxes or wires needed.

I turned off at the word 'basically' (0.20) if people cannot put a sentence together without using that word, which is a filler word and adds nothing to the meaning of the sentence, I'm not interested.

[@MsJim70]

No usb port for external storage support. hence no poor mans NAS. Lack of Samba functionality means that this router unlike Talktalk's HG633 cannot act as the WORKGROUP master browser. The cost accountants strike again, Talktalk cost cutting. The Master Browser is one computer in a Windows "workgroup" network which maintains a list of the other computers on the network, which it supplies on demand. This avoids the need for all computers to broadcast "I'm here" messages in order to build a list.

Sounds like interference on your line. If you use an ADSL Filter (which you SHOULD be doing) replace it. If you have a prefiltered socket, they this may need replacing. Maybe call for an engineer?

Why do I get 2mbps download? Plz help

[@MrTechtalk]

There can be many reasons why this is the case. Best thing to do is go on a ISP website like Sky or Talktalk and pop in your post code and see what it says your meant to have. If the figure is miles away from what you have then might be worth looking at your setup and working from there as there may be a fault etc. If you like many miles away from the Cab / Exchange then these all have a negative effect on speed etc.
