If you're after a reasonably priced, stable and fast VDSL2 (FTTC) router like me, this is perfect. It has all the latest standards like G.INP (be sure to get the V2 model for these, as V1 does not support them) and is a breeze to set up, taking me less than 10 minutes. I'm using mine with BT Infinity 2 and it works perfectly connecting at the same speed as my BT Smart Hub - which had to go, as after EVERY firmware update it crapped out and had to be reset to factory, set back up, etc.; I was done being a beta tester for BT! My old BT OpenReach modem acted as a backup for a short while, however it is too old to last much longer, doesn't support the latest standards and I can't get line stats... I use the modem in 'bridge' mode (see instructions in product description) connected to my firewall, and with the wireless disabled (which I never intended to use), so I can't comment on the wireless functionality. I have the Smart Hub set up as my wireless access point instead, and in this regard it works very well. I did notice that this has a lot of security functions like built-in firewall, wireless guest network, and SPI, but I don't need these; nice to see though. I can get line stats fairly easily by connecting my laptop to one of the free LAN ports on the modem, and it wall mounts. Frustratingly, since I won't be using the wireless, I can't easily remove the antennae as they are moulded, and just get in the way. It would be great if these could be detached without tearing the thing apart, but since I don’t want to invalidate the 3 year warranty I’ll have to live with it - for 3 years at least! Still 5 stars though, as all things considered, this is a fantastic bit of kit that fits my needs more than adequately. I hope you found this review helpful! Update: MY set up above may confuse. For a typical home set up, you don't need any additional equipment, it will serve fine as your modem, firewall and wireless access point, just like a BT Smart Hub. I believe this is the default set up mode too, so should be easy to configure.

I needed a new router to check out broadband problems I was having, as I tried to work out whether the issue lay with my old but expensive router or the antique and fragile copper my supplier pretends is suitable for the 21st century. I wasn't convinced it was the router, so I opted for the cheapest unit I could find, sure that my test would lay the fault at BT's door. I was wrong, and found that the new router not only returned data rates to where I thought they should be but exceeded my previous best figures. This is an impressive bit of kit, and given my previous router cost over £200 I was delighted to have got away with spending so little to replace it. Setup was a doddle. I just copied the settings across from the old unit and had it up and running within 10 - 15 minutes. It's got most of the important bells and whistles of the old one, so I can tie the MAC address of particular devices to an IP address or open up ports so that my IP phone works properly - though admittedly that took me a while to work out. Sure, the software interface could be a bit better, though if you wanted to you could flash a different firmware to the box. But you'd have to be pretty demanding to have to go that far. The wifi works well, there are four network connectors, and it even looks good! I probably wouldn't have bought this if I'd known I needed to replace my old router, imagining that I'd need something more expensive. That lack of certainty has worked in my favour, saved me a bit of money, and meant I've ended up with a very capable piece of kit.

I ordered this router because you can turn off the wi-fi through it. Yes, this is possible - although it turns out that you need to press a tiny black switch at the back of the gadget, which is next to another tiny black switch which can be easily pressed instead if you aren't looking carefully at what you are doing! (The other one is called WPS\RESET.) The router itself works fine - I am not sure if it is faster than my previous TalkTalk Super Router though. I have just done a test at 11.20am on 13-12-2016: the download speed was 827Kb (0.8Mbps) and the upload speed was 2.1Mb (2.6Mbps). This was on the fixed line internet, not wi-fi. The router itself was a doddle to set up - only took a few minutes and it did all the work itself. All I had to do was provide the wi-fi password. The router is about 20cm across, 13cm front to back, and about 3cm high, plus the 17cm high antennae which can be angled around. One unexpected plus is that it can be fixed flat to a wall, which will get it out of the way, although the leads supplied are not particularly long so it would have to be in a similar place to where it is on the desk at the moment. It has a little row of green lights at the front to show you what is working, although they are very small and you almost need a microscope to see what is what. I have only had the router for a few days so can't really give a true report about it, but at the moment it seems to be efficiently connecting to the internet, which is really all I expect from a router. I have given it 4 stars because its speed is not overwhelmingly fast, but I think that is probably because of dodgy phone lines and not the router's fault, so it probably really deserves a 5.

Good product, I like the fact that it has a good set of settings to play with, and extremely easy to set up, with the option of creating VLans and optimising the connection for IPTV etc. Only downside is the coverage. This router doesn't provide very strong signal to upstairs in the house, so had to buy a Wi-Fi extender.

Modem vendu et expédié par AMA UK. Description sur site Amazon France en ALLEMAND. Réception colis avec uniquement notice rapide en ANGLAIS. Connexion internet sur adresse routeur (pas de traduction en français). Pour pouvoir se connecter, il faut naturellement branché le modem sur secteur. Alors là, PAS de CHANCE, il n'est fourni qu'une prise UK. Je commande donc ce jour, un adaptateur UK vers FR (ou plutôt 2 car vendus par 2) pour 8,99 €. Pas bon pour l'écologie et surtout le client.

I recently moved into an apartment building where I could only get a FTTN (fibre to the node) plan from the service providers. I needed to get a RJ11 converter as well for the old school telephone port. From there it was easy to setup this modem as a bridge, turn off the wifi and use my existing WiFi-6 Router as the main router. Shipment from Amazon was same day as I'm a Prime subscriber. Was up and running that same night. Getting speed of between 90-95mb/s download but that's because of the FTTN limit. Can definitely recommend this unit if you're stuck in the same predicament as I was.

pour l'instant ça fonctionne
