BT Home Hub 5 (Type A) | Software version 4.7.5.1.83.8.264 | Last updated 02/03/19

My 5gh Wifi network now refuses to connect to the internet after this update.

I have constantly reset the hub and done a master reset with the same problem. Everything connects to the network itself but has no internet connection after about 5 minutes (or sometimes not at all after a reset)

2.4ghz and wired connection not got a problem with

Any suggestions that doesn't involve doing everything I've already done or any way I can downgrade the update?

Same issue, tried powering off, disabling reenabling in settings but no joy.

It's quite obviously a firmware issue as I've hooked up a different router which is working fine.

How have you 'reset' the hub? Have you carried out a full factory reset by pressing the recessed button for about 20 seconds until the lights flash?

[dao2009]

Yes

To be honest, I can't be ar*** contacting customer support as they'll just go through what I've already done and probably won't solve the problem - I haven't got the time to waste in the phone so I've just set up a bridge connection upstairs with my other touter.

Nothing cs would be able to do on any case. I will ask if the mods could take a look, they will post in the morning.

[NigelMcD]

Doing the same, using an old router that I had just been using as a switch, PITA, but as you say could call CS but I do not have the time with work . . .

Licquorice, thanks for the input by the way your reply is appreciated.
