Finally got the VR900 working by complete accident. The Vodafone router was acting up so I power cycled the router and ONT box and for some unknown reason, the router reset itself back to the default WiFi name for a few minutes before dropping out entirely. I called Vodafone and they said they...

Reset the ONT multiple times to no effect. Cloning MAC addresses is a little beyond my networking knowledge. Unbelievably, Vodafone have given me a completely different PPPoE username and password now. I asked them to confirm it and they insist this is the right one. The vodafone forums...

Factory reset and reflashed firmware already. Latest FW looks like a beta from TP-Link despite being from 2020 (ArcherVR900(EU)_V3_210322), it even has the "Confidential, for Test" watermark once you login to the settings page. Also tried the FW before that too. Neither works but only the "beta"...

because it's a VDSL/ASDL modem/router combo and from what I read, you need to put it into wireless router mode and plug the ONS box into the WAN port. This router used to work for Vodafone FTTC but with this fibre FTTP, no dice at all. Getting the correct username and password from Vodafone is...

for the life of me I cannot get the VR900 to work. Set it to WiFi only, plugged the ethernet into the WAN port, and put in the PPPoE details, but it will not connect. Contacted Vodafone for the login details twice to make sure they were correct and also re-flashed the firmware on the router just...

it's mainly the corner of one room that has the patchy signal. Annoyingly, it's where my TV is and I don't really have the space to move it and I'm trying to avoid running an ethernet cable around the house. I figure if I got a mesh AP, I could just put it next to the door and that should boost...

My router is located pretty central in my flat, the problem is the walls are thick and makes the signal a little patchy at times. Kinda why I was looking at the Google Nest Wifi Pro as it's an affordable mesh router. Just unsure about a Google router, there's a limit to how much data I'm willing...

any suggestions on what would be a good upgrade for around £100 to £150?

thanks for the reply. Do you see any speed limitations with the VR900 other than the line speed exceeding the 600Mbps limit of the 2.4Ghz band? Been reading up on the Google Nest Wifi Pro 6E but I've only got one 6E device in the house so not sure if it's worth it. It's a streaming device, so...

I currently have Vodafone FTTC and their supplied router was awful, the connection would drop randomly all the time. So I swapped it to a TP-Link Archer VR900 and I've had no real issues since then. I'm getting FTTP installed next week from Vodafone/Cityfibre (900Mbps) and from what I read, the...

my USB dongle is connected to the PC case USB port, never had problems before. Batteries are fully charged. Any setting in the BIOS I should be looking for?

I installed new RAM and a NVMe drive last week (haven't done anything with the NVMe drive yet) and now my wireless keyboard and mouse randomly stops responding. Happened once while I was gaming but most commonly when I'm watching youtube vids and stuff. A hard reset and it's back to working...

fixed. Just spotted the BIOS I updated to was released 7 days ago and still in beta. Hopefully it doesn't have any bugs!

yup, found it. It's a MSI B450-A Pro Max. Ports 5 and 6 are disabled when M2 is in use. I'll get that swapped. Also found out there's a BIOS update to fix a security issue. May as well do that too. Thanks!

I've got a strange issue that I can't quite figure out. I have two hard drives installed, a 500GB SSD and a 1TB HDD. I recently bought a nVME drive but when I install it, the 1TB HDD disappears. When I remove the nVME drive, it's back. Any suggestions how to fix this?

The provided Vodafone Hub router was a piece of junk that couldn't stream 1080p on Netflix reliably and had constant dropouts so I replaced it with the VR900, version 3.0. Speed and stability is infinitely better, I can stream in 4k and my partner can do a zoom video call simultaneously without...

The range on the W9970 was never an issue for my house so I assumed I wouldn't need a separate access point. While it could be better, the wifi speed was good enough as long as no one was trying to stream Netflix in 4k or too many devices were connected. I just figured that since I needed to...

got fed up of the constant dropouts with the Vodafone router, it struggles to load YouTube occasionally and especially cannot handle streaming Netflix at 1080 and internet on other devices at the same time. Went back to the W9970 for now and getting 34Mbps on the wifi (40Mbps standing next to...

I'm with Vodafone on their Superfast 2 broadband and while their advisors are helpful, they lack training. When they set up my connection, they sent the router to my mothers address. 2nd time I told them to check the address and it went to my mothers house again. So I've been using my old...

I have no intention of water cooling, my overclocking days are behind me. Too lazy to go through the hassle for a few extra Mhz that aren't all that noticeable day to day. Stock air cooling in a decent case will be more than sufficient I think. The aerocool caught my eye because of the fan...
