No but make sure you save changes before you exit the router,the server just connected and channels clear as normal :)

For people having trouble with talk talk you need to change router settings, the dns primary settings to 8.8.8.8 secondary to 8.8.4.4,it worked for me not sure about post office broadband but popping round to a mates whos also gone off with post office,but can confirm 100% got talk talk working ok :)

How did you get on with the post office broadband?

Hi everyone. As if the 28th I have some friends who are experiencing total darkness on their sly connections. I have narrowed this down to those who are connected to post office broadband and talktalk. Anyone any ideas what the issue is?

issue with dns resolution, I know a few people on TalkTalk and PO ADSL - fix is to set DNS to Google 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

EDIT

realised somone else has already mentioned this
