The Sagem F@ST 2504 router gets a new FW
It would appear that the roll out of the new FW for the Sagem F@ST 2504 router has now started.
Unfortunately we were not tipped off about this, however posts are now appearing on our forums, stating that the FW version is indeed 1.9Sky
One of the issues that was allegedly being addressed was the VPN issues, that so many people complained about, in the past.

Image 2 - The new FW having been installed.
Update:
We have now added a tutorial to show you how to update from your current FW 1.5Sky to 1.9Sky.

Re: The Sagem F@ST 2504 router gets a new FW
That is a surprise.
I see they have changed the Wireless Access Control Page (image 1)- which brings it on par with the Netgear, and makes it as easy to now setup.
Another new feature, (picture 2) if you lose connection, you now get this error.Last edited by NewsreadeR; 24-09-08 at 09:50 PM.

Re: The Sagem F@ST 2504 router gets a new FW
that second one is when it's being flashed (i think)...there's meant to be some sort of message telling you it's happening...

I have just posted the flashing screen, or at least the screen that you see as the FW is being updated. (image 1 in the first post)

Re: The Sagem F@ST 2504 router gets a new FW
Updated:
The method shown below has now worked for three different people from all over the UK.
http://192.168.0.1
Username: admin
Password: sky (unless you have changed it)
Scroll down,
a) Click Connection Status
b) Click Disconnect
c) Once disconnected, click Connect
It may or not work, I was playing with mine last night and it kicked the FW update off. Either coincidence and Sky had scheduled it, or I had found the right combination.

Just worked for me
(the GUI bit) Password generator still works and returns the same results as before. Last edited by Brian69; 25-09-08 at 09:58 PM.

Re: The Sagem F@ST 2504 router gets a new FW
I never tried that.
Which process worked? The reboot or the process on the image?
I can't remember which way round I sussed it.
