curses… MODS – can I rename this thread “DrP will remotely fix your router for £9.99”??
I’ve been chatting to Plusnet -they are trying to replicate the error too to see if they can find the reason.
“Good afternoon, I’m Bradley. How can I help?
hi
since google chromecasts audio updated their firmware yesterday, my router is now going through a constant reboot-shutdown-reboot cycle.
i’ve unplugged the chromecasts and it’s working OK now, but this is a big fault that a wifi coonnected device can crash teh one hub router so easily.
presumably you have had others complain of this recently? What are plusnet planning on doing?
:
Yes this is an issue we have become aware of and have reached out for comment on
i had raised a comment on the forum – that’s how i found out about unplugging the chromecasts.
Yeah we’re trying to replicate it internally with a chromecast and a hub one to find out what it’s requesting from the router that’s crashing it out
It’s like the old USB webcam hack that could shut peoples computers down a few years ago. Basically having to comb through everything that’s changed and try to get the router to just reject whatever is being requested
Or wait for a response from google on them correcting the bad request
i’ve reported it to google – i’ve also orgdered a new chromecast (which I won’t update!) to see if that will work again.
I’m sorry that we don’t currently have a workaround
do you think the answer will come from your side then? if it is an issue in the router, will a new firmware be released?
It depends if we can patch the firmware before google release a patch (assuming they take responsibility and don’t push it back on an issue with our router)
ok..so just a case of wait and see (in silence….no music you see…)
cheers
:
Unfortunately so but we are working on it to locate the issue and will push an update to all hubs once it’s been resolved”
Hmmmm
