Router manufacturers typically roll out software updates throughout the year to address such vulnerabilities. In fact, Tejas Shah, Netgear’s chief information officer, says his company released. The only firmware upgrade route is via Remote Management. The TalkTalk routers are set up by default to connect to the update server, on the TalkTalk network, every 24 hours. The router will update automatically to the latest firmware.

Installation
Flashing ANY Firmware
You must set your TCP/IP v4 protocol at your computer to:
- Netmask: 255.255.255.0
- DNS: (optional, can be blank).
Then:
- Press reset button near the antenna.
- Keep it pressed while powering up during ~20+ seconds.
- Acces to http://192.168.1.1 and upload binary file.
Specific Configuration
Interfaces
The default network configuration is:
| Interface Name | Description | Default configuration |
|---|---|---|
| br-lan | LAN & WiFi | 192.168.1.1/24 |
| eth0.1 | LAN ports (1 to 4) | bridged |
| eth0.2 | WAN port (WAN) | nat (WAN) |
| wlan0 | WiFi | bridged (disabled) |
| wlan1 | WiFi | bridged (disabled) |
Switch Ports (for VLANs)
This is an example to configure the switch: numbers 0-2 will be lan, labeled as Ports LAN1X, LAN2X, LAN3X on the unit, number 3 (LAN4X) will be the Internet (WAN), 8 is the internal connection to the router itself. Don't be fooled: vlan1 = eth0.1, vlan2 = eth0.2 and so on.
| Port | Switch port | Mode |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0 | lan |
| 2 | 1 | lan |
| 3 | 2 | lan |
| 4 | 3 | lan |
| WAN | 4 | Internet (WAN) |
| n/a | 5t | to CPU |
