8800nl r2 - WiFi won't connect issue

Afternoon Gents,

A couple of days ago, I replaced my BT HomeHub for an 8800NL R2. Setup went swimmingly, but the next day, my WiFi devices would no longer connect to the router, saying I had the wrong WiFi password. Rebooting the router solved this. I've just come home from work today (2nd day of using the router), and had the same issue.
It occurs on devices using the 2.4g and 5g channels. Software version is 2.52.d5.

Any ideas what could be causing this and how I could rectify it?

I would try the latest firmware, think it is 2.52.d10.

I've updated it, will see if that solves the issue.

Hi,

I bought the AXL R2 and also replaced my BT smart hub. I had the exact same issue, even after I upgraded the firmware to d10.

It's very disappointing as I had high hopes for this router. I am thinking of sending it back.

Try the firmware attached on the link (for the Bipac 8800AXL R2 only)
