Firmware Version :

ISP :

Just arrived, plugged it in and connected to my laptop via wired connection. I can login and the basic and quick setup tabs seem to work fine.
If i access the advanced tab I can see the router status but anything I click on the left side navigation bar (I.e. try and change the default password) just freezes up.
I tried with 3 different computers over wired and wireless, all behave the same. Eventually the browsers just freezes trying to load the page.
I've held the WPS button to issue a factory reset multiple times, power cycled multiple times and disabled the WiFi via the external button.
I've tried chrome and firefox on both windows and linux.
Its the V2 version of the C8. There only appears to be 1 firmware version for it (not that I can load a new one or anything) 3.17.0 Build 20150716
I don't have this thing plugged into any other router or modem, just it and a host machine.
I've tried ssh as well but that just comes back with shell and PTY allocation request failed errors
As far as I can tell this thing is a paperweight with LEDs.

Have you ever tried to clear your the cache of your browser?
What about LEDs, did they work normally or not?
