2wire Bt firmware v6

Which one?

Simon · Apr 16, 2009, 13:42:26

I only have one. Didn't know you then, so I was still buying sensibly!

Rik · Apr 16, 2009, 14:32:11

I always feel a spare router may come in handy one day, so tend to keep them.

JB · Apr 16, 2009, 15:54:12

I have to admit that I have a few

Not sure why

Sebby · Apr 16, 2009, 17:21:25

I've still got an old DG834G (version 1) in a cupboard. I'm sure it'll come in handy one day.

Rik · Apr 16, 2009, 19:09:50

I agree.

Me too, so I did. One.

Well, there's the one I lend out if members need to try a different router and two for safety and security.

Simon · Apr 17, 2009, 00:26:15

Well, I did tell a little fib, as I forgot about the other three 2700s I accumulated, but if all those get stiffed by the update, I'll just have the one Netgear to fall back on.

Rik · Apr 17, 2009, 00:31:39

I'm thinking of getting a Speedtouch for the cupboard, just in case.

Simon · Apr 17, 2009, 00:40:00

Just in case the cupboard needs one?

Rik · Apr 17, 2009, 00:45:04

Or I can't find the others.

Simon · Apr 17, 2009, 00:54:25

I've spent half the evening looking for a CD. Buggered if I can find it.

Rik · Apr 17, 2009, 00:57:43

A feeling I increasingly know well. The filing system just ndoesn't work as well as you start to get older.

Anyhoo... I'm off to catch my beauty sleep. I'll be back in a 100 years.

Simon · Apr 17, 2009, 01:05:26

Me too. Nite.

Rik · Apr 17, 2009, 01:07:05

See you later.

Overnight BT have re-started the roll-out of V6 firmware, any 2700 using 5.29.117.6 firmware will be updated unless the ACS_URL has been changed as previously explained.

After the upgrade it is NOT possible to change back to old firmwares later.

Simon · Jun 23, 2009, 10:18:37

Thanks Alan. Do I need to worry about 5.29.107.19 yet?

Not until someone tells us their 5.29.107.19 has updated

Simon · Jun 23, 2009, 11:01:02

Don't fancy all that fiddling about with Opera.

In the event Simon, being a little reluctant myself to start with, it was very easy to do.

Just follow the steps one by one and it will be done.

Simon · Jun 23, 2009, 11:30:29

Yes, it's just putting my mind to it, Les.

Lance · Jun 24, 2009, 06:35:23

And for me it would mean having to download and Install opera to start with!

Simon · Jun 24, 2009, 07:31:17

Yes, me too, Lance.

kinmel · Jun 24, 2009, 08:08:13

If you don't change it, then you will be updated.

Although the V6 firmware version number remains unchanged, some of the bugs have been fixed
