  • I have reported to #BT that they remotely 'bricked' our LAN (firmware auto-updates), rendering some machines not accessible from others unless I use my domain names (public) with port forwarding set up to emulate 'outside' addresses. BT gave no time estimate for a fix. HUGELY disappointing! Wasted so many hours on this... 6 maybe.          โ˜ž
