router

Hi guys, I'm about to leave Vodafone after a few years now (using their kit) and go with a local fibre provider. They provide a very basic hub by all accounts. I'm after a new router, I haven't bought my own kit since dsl days, back then I was on stuff from D-Link/Netgear/Billion etc., but I...

Hi, so this is a weird one I can't quite get my head around. I just joined YouFibre 900mbps and they provided me with an Arris NVG578LX1 router (I was told it it would be eero router but never mind) I realised immediately that I couldn't use certain apps on my phone Spotify, Taxi & Bus Apps...

Hello. A couple of months ago, I upgraded my internet to BT's FTTP 500/73 package which came with the SmartHub2. So far, I'm un-impressed with the SH2. It's very restrictive compared to the ASUS RT-N66U 'Dark Knight' I used with FTTC and also WiFI is no-where near as consistent on either...

My THG3000 Vodafone router gives DHCP clients a .broadband suffix for DNS. This is causing some issues, and it's preventing Windows 11 clients connecting to my server and NAS. So how do I fix it? As it handles my wifi I cannot just roll up a DHCP server. I cannot see any way to change the DHCP...

I am dipping my toe into home networking and wish to upgrade the router my ISP gave me. As I understand it, I can put my router into modem-only mode and connect a third-part router to do everything else. The advantages being that, unlike ISP-provided routers, these third-party routers have far...

Wifi 6 transmitters seem expensive are there any recommendations ?

Hi, Finally got myself full fibre connection installed and can run this in a bridge mode with my own router. Unfortunately the one I had has been re=purposed for another install so need to sort out a replacement, which will offer some extra benefits. Got plenty of LAN cables routed so Wifi...

Hi everybody Can anybody help with the following situation please I have a modem/router (router A) supplied by my ISP which must be used for VDSL to work Router A is controlled by, and monitored by, the ISP and can not be used as a modem only nor put into bridge mode My entire network is...

Hi all, I did used to post on this thread a few years ago when I started building computers as a beginner Somehow managed to lose that account so starting new here unfortunately back in august 2021 my mum was murdered by my dad and this left me in understandable trauma. Anyway I’m recovering...

Hi guys, i'm currently with vodafone and i'm looking to upgrade my router to support VPN connection so all traffic on the network is routed through the VPN. I'm aware I need to pay for the service as well. Some of the routers seem quite costly at over £100. Draytek I know are insanely good...

I need a router that can do more than just standard Virgin Media hub. It will be mainly used for SOHO so that some working from home (WFH) and evening gaming sessions can be run by children while we are still working. Also, since it will be used for my little office, remote access such as VPN...

Hey Guys I have a zyxel router through my IP that I want to keep as a Modem and then set my Netgear Router in the livingroom as an AP. In the bedorom where my zyxel router is, I had a technician put up a network box in the wall that leads up and through the attic and then down to my office...

Hi guys, anyone here on Vodafone and have one of these routers? I've had this one delivered today as an 'upgrade' from my older Huawei HHG2500 but already I seem to be having issues with it. I can only change the WiFi details/passwords through the phone app - why? When trying a firmware...

Hi (sorry if something is wrong, I'm new here), Just got my new Sky Fibre installed. I really want to move my router as its near the master socket in a awkward place (corner of the house, away from wired/wireless devices). My main goal is to increase/maintain my speeds and improve reliability...

My WiFi is outperforming my ethernet - before I splurge to replace my router I want to confirm that it is in fact the bottleneck. I've just purchased the ethernet cable and the PC is a recent build. My router is the bog standard supplied by my ISP (Hyperoptic) but I haven't been able to find...

Hello, I'm going to get a Quest 2 (coming from a Rift CV1), Does anyone know at this stage if one of the cheap WiFi6 routers will work with the Quest? I'm thinking Honor Router 3 as this is £30-40 cheaper than the official cable! Cheers,

Interesting... QNAP are releasing a high-end WiFi6 router that crushes the Synology RT2600ac, not to mention most mainstream routers out there... https://nascompares.com/2020/09/14/new-qnap-qhora-301w-wifi-6-10gbe-router-revealed/ The only downside I can see to this router is that QNAP did not...

Hi, I've been having a strange issue with my internet connection for about 5 months now. Over time I've thought the root cause of issue to be many things and have tried various different solutions none of which fix the problem. So, right now I bought a new unmanaged switch (NetGear 24port...

Hi I've been having problem with my internet dropping a few times a day since i bought this router last week. This is what I usually see in logs - Aug 7 01:11:08 acsd: acs_set_chspec: 0x1005 (5) for reason APCS_CSTIMER Aug 7 01:24:30 acsd: eth6: selected_chspec is 0x1003 (3) Aug 7 01:24:30...

I was initially looking to extend the WiFi rage in my home by purchasing an additional WiFi router to supplement my Nighthawk R7000 running DD-WRT. The idea was to connect the two through Ethernet and set up the new router as a wireless access point. Looking around, it seems there is a raft of...
