    Best modem only for BT ADSL broadband

    Doing some serious reworking of my home network and settled for 4G broadband for my main service. However I'm going to retain my BT ADSL as a back up so looking for a good modem that communicates well with an ADSL connection. Should I just keep the Home Hub (ver 3 i think) and turn off the...

    Which 4G network is stronger? (Mast within 400m - UK)

    Turns out EE was considerably stronger and they also didnt throttle my speeds which Vodafone did within about 20 minutes of use.

    WhatsApp video and voice calls not working through my new Wifi

    Just tried and no luck. Should I turn it back on? What does it actually do?

    WhatsApp video and voice calls not working through my new Wifi

    Just purchased and installed a Huawei 5G router (CPE Pro) and for some reason WhatsApp video and voice calls wont connect. Tested on my mobile 4G and my old internet which is still running until I can fix all the problems, and all works fine. I've spoken with Huawei, Whatsapp and EE (my ISP)...

    Which 4G network is stronger? (Mast within 400m - UK)

    Have 14 days to trial both so will order both and fingers crossed! Just received the Vodafone card and speeds are okay but I suspect EE will be better. For some reason my direct ethernet connections have terrible ping so will need to do some troubleshooting.

    What is the best 4/5G router? [UK] [Vodafone or EE]

    Thanks for the informative reply. Might give that a go once the cpe and sim arrive. Can I ask why you sent the CPE back?

    What is the best 4/5G router? [UK] [Vodafone or EE]

    New 4/5G sim card arriving so i can replace my horrible ADSL home network but I cant decide on the router. I need something as powerful as my old Asus DSL-AC88U in terms of features and wifi range but needs to take a sim card for 4/5G internet and have a high CAT value. My provider deal comes...

    Which 4G network is stronger? (Mast within 400m - UK)

    I'm 400m away from a mast that appears to have EE and Vodafone services. I'm looking to get 4G broadband and really cant decide between these two providers. Both have similar deals and provide the same router that I like (Huawei CPE Pro). Ping is probably the most important thing for me as I...

    Creating a guest network from powerline adapters

    Also occurred to me that I'd need to run ethernets to any additional routers for a mesh right?. For my airbnb annex this just isnt feasible.

    Creating a guest network from powerline adapters

    an AiMesh requires another router right? Dont think I can afford that at the moment.

    Creating a guest network from powerline adapters

    Im with you, not an ideal situation then but think I'll just reset/unclone the powerline and they can have their own SSID for now. See what you mean about the QoS, think I'd be shooting myself in my foot trying to restrict bandwidth to a specific device. Other issue I think im having is that...

    Creating a guest network from powerline adapters

    Yeah I know what you mean about them having access to my network, always understood I'd have to share. But hoped with the new router I'd be able to use the Bandwidth Limiter. What about using QoS to set the powerline at lower priority?

    Creating a guest network from powerline adapters

    Thanks for the quick reply. Dont want to spend too long on this so I'll try re-cloning that powerline and see what happens. Worst comes to worst, I can just reset that unit and have my guests use the default SSID that came with the unit. Bit disappointed I'm unable to restrict their bandwidth...

    Creating a guest network from powerline adapters

    Just created a guest network with my Asus DSL-AC88U but its only available from the router not the powerline/wifi adapter I have installed in the annex. Whole point of this was so guests at my airbnb would have a guest network but for some reason the guest SSID only emits from the main router...
