And the data stream from spotify is getting to your phone/tablet how?


Ah, usually it's already on the phone/tablet so shouldn't be being
downloaded from Spotify servers on the fly.

Every session without fail, doing this makes my wifi router reboot
more than once. I know as my phone will drop onto 3g whilst the
router reboots.

Which implies that the data stream from spotify is reaching your
phone/tablet over WiFi from the router that crashes?

Usually not - see above.

Router is a Thomson tg 785 from Plusnet several years ago.

Any firmware updates available?

I'll have a look


Right found some time to have another delve.

Router is a Thomson tg 585 & there are some firmware updates on
the Plusnet site.

Snag seems to be that the installer software runs on W7 or 8 -
neither of which I have.. any workarounds or is it "visit a mate"
time?

TIA

I've never upgraded a Thomson, does it have an http or tftp transfer
option, or even USB stick, rather than using a windows .exe?

I know the webgui is basic on thomsons, but thought you could do much
more through the telnet command line? Nothing leaps out at me for
upgrades, but have a dig around ..

If you know how to setup a dhcp and bootp server ... press and hold
factory reset while powering the router on and it will upgrade itself
from the server, if you get the voodoo right.

Error :-)
Well there's no usb port, and no obvious option in the flaky ui
to "update" or similar so guess not?

Usually theres a cli interface via 'telnet' and sftp or summat.
