• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

ATTENTION - All Zen users on a Fritz!Box

And off to pastures new
Immediately go and disable auto-updates in your Fritz!Box.

There is a bug in the new version 8 of the firmware ...well, several bugs actually....the worst being the inability to roll back to the previous version.
 
Been amusing to see this follow the traditional Helpdesk 'Nothing to see here' path from both the manufacturer - AVM - and Zen.

"You need to restart the router"
"Nobody else is having this problem"
"You need to do a factory reset"
"We've found an error in our configuration program which causes only a small number of routers to reboot. We've fixed it"
"Only Zen 7530 routers are having this problem"

All 7530 routers, since version 8, can exhibit this problem and it is our top priority to fix. In the meantime you can rollback. Here is the .exe file. Mac users can go swivel :ROFLMAO:

IMO....the 7530 has reached end-of-life and is no longer able to run the latest version of the s/w - v8.0 - in real-world conditions - ie with lots of data going through it. Trouble is, I believe that Zen offers a lifetime warranty on the router.

"lifetime" = until it dies. RIP :rolleyes:

But it hasn't died. They didn't think far enough ahead.

The router is fundamental. To suddenly turn round to all their users and say...oh, by the way...you need to shell out ££££ to carry on using us. I hope they (or AVM) fix it but....
