Plug all wired devices and wireless equipment back in and reconnect. Possible reason is because those devices are still holding onto 192.168.1.x IP and trying to get it from the Router, but there is clash due to new IP being 192.168.10.x.ħ. This is to prevent the Router Admin page waiting loop. Restart Modem and Router, along with all other wired devices/wireless routers/repeaters/access points. She say should be fine to restore across firmware revisions, but might have some clash if there is changes like the local IP gateway 10.1 or similar.Ħ. Make whatever changes you want to router and save config in Troubleshooting > Administration > Router configuration > Backup. If you use DNS like me can set 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 etc.ĥ. Update your DHCP Reservations if you use them for Printers, IP Camera's etc like me.Ĥ. After the router reboot, access in new tab on 192.168.1.1.ģ. Change local IP Address from 192.168.10.1 to 192.168.1.1 in the Connectivity > Local Network section. For some reason when I did the update by myself just now, it remained 192.168.1.1 from firmware 2.81.Ģ. Depending on how the router make changes, it might be 192.168.10.1 or 192.168.1.1. The admin page is slower than previous firmware even before you plug anything back in, so dont be too worried, instead of instantaneous now maybe need wait like 10 seconds to load up everything.ġ. You might need to turn off any wifi repeater/access points as well. Unplug all other ethernet LAN cables except your computer to prevent admin page stuck on loop waiting. Recommended solutions by me and checked to be okay with the senior technician who called me for the EA7500v2: There is NOTHING you can do to stop the updates being forced, and will continue to be forced for the forseeable future so Starhub can push its IPTV Service. Will pass my suggestion along to the engineering team for future routers. I ask if is possible to have a notification page/warning before updates are applied / confirmed by the user, they say they dont have that capability on the router. The firmware update only looks at model number, so even though they claim you can use with other ISP by rolling back to previous firmware, you will still be pushed the latest update. I grill her quite hard and she managed to provide quite a bit of info.Īs the EA8100 and EA7500v2 is produced for starhub by linksys, it is part of their agreement that starhub will be able to tell linksys to push firmware updates whenever they want, regardless of whether you enable or disable the "automatic update" function, i.e. Yes indeed, i just got off the line with a senior technician by Linksys.
