## Description

Review: Great product and easy to set up - I needed to replace my old router, which had become temperamental and needed regular re-starting. I twinned this new router with the TP-Link AC1750 dual band extender, as the router is located in a loft conversion, two floors up and as far away as it is possible to get from the Fire TV receiver. It's also an old house with solid walls. The previous wifi set-up (Netgear DGN2200 router and a Netgear N300 extender) struggled to provide a consistent and adequate signal on the ground floor, so TV programmes would often freeze and glitch (especially on BBC iPlayer), and web access on phones and tablets would often be frustratingly slow. The router takes up a fair bit of room: it is 26x23cm and sits flat on the desk. There is an array of LED indicators on top, which can be switched off when not needed. All the connections are on the back - 4 Ethernet ports and a single line-in for the phone connection. WPS button on the side. The whole thing feels solid and appears well made. Set-up was incredibly easy. The only reason it took me more than 5 minutes was that I had forgotten my ISP password (Doh!). Once I had sorted that out, it was a piece of cake. Connect it all up and attach the aerials; turn on the computer and router; reassure the anti-virus that the new network is safe; launch the browser and tap in the URL provided; follow the wizard, which includes options to name your network(s) and set your own password(s); there is a drop-down list of ISPs so you just have to select your own, put in user name and password, and you're there. Another 2 minutes to set up and position the extender and I had 5 bar wifi all over the house. The Fire TV now runs without a hitch, and web speeds have visibly improved. The great feature of this is the dual band. If you use both, you can choose which band each device connects to. That means I can use the 5GHz band exclusively for the TV and the 2.4 GHz for everything else. Now we can have good internet access and TV at the same time. It isn't the cheapest device, but it is well worth it for the quality and the ease of use (even for a total non-techie like me).
Review: Good Modem/Router. Easy to set up and fast/reliable* - Very happy with unit as replacement for BT kit. Very easy to set up - found BT username/password info on net and then just told unit service connecting to was BT VDSL. The web interface walked me through a few options for setting up the router itself and that was it. Unit is currently providing a fast connection* to the internet and fast speeds over wifi. 3 minor negatives: - The unit is large (26cm wide x 19cm deep before wifi aerials are added). - 5GHz wifi range feels okay but not great. I've not setup 5GHz wifi before so this might be more about the technology than this router. When connected however real life speeds are as fast as wired - in each case limited only to what is coming in to the house (about 65Mb usually). - 5GHz & 2.4GHz wifi are setup as two separate networks. Not sure if possible technically but would have been good if they could be presented as one network with devices switching between bands automatically as necessary without each device having to be set up for 2 networks each time. * I am using powerline/homeplug for wired connections. Initially I found wired connections great for short time periods and then dropped to about 20Mb. A quick power off of the powerline adapter by the router and things returned to normal for a brief period before slowing down again every time. Scouring the Internet suggested this might be because I was powering the router via the mains passthrough on the powerline adapter. Moving router power to the other half of the wall socket seems to have cured the problem. Very glad to find this was not a problem with the router! The small negatives above to one side, this is a really good unit and is currently delivering everything we wanted.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How easy is it to setup this router with BT Infinity?**
A: An absolute doddle. Took me seconds to set it up.
As others have mentioned, you just need to enter "bthomehub@btbroadband.com" as username and any old passsword (I used "BT").

10 times better than the Homehub in my opinion.

**Q: Can i connected without any other modem or router available? Basically i want to purchase this device just for 1 room, will that work?**
A: This unit is a combined modem and router and you do not need anything else.  All you do is plug it into your broadband socket on the wall which is usually where your telephone line is too. I recommend that you always plug into a socket as close to where your line comes into your property from the outside and that way you avoid any interference from your own wiring and any other devices that might degrade the data stream. You will need to configure it for your particular broadband supplier so do not expect to just plug it in and see it work but that is true of any "box" like this.  The ones that come from a broadband supplier that you are using will be pre-configured before they are sent to you so that they can be just plugged in but these need a once only setup.  Instructions are provided. They are very good once done though and mine has been very reliable with good coverage.

**Q: Does the AC1600 work with sky fibre?**
A: Ye s you can use it with Sky Fibre.

Setting It Up
Setting up the TP-Link router with Sky fibre is extremely simple. Whilst it’s not quite plug and play, the process is very simple:

Plug in your TP-Link to a power supply and connect the DSL (Internet) cable to the back.
Connect the network cable to port 1 on the router, then connect the other end to your laptop.
Open a browser window and navigate to http://192.168.1.1.
The TP-Link will ask you to set an admin password – make sure you use something secure, as Password123 ain’t gonna cut it!
Once in, the TP-Link setup wizard will start:
Input your location and time zone. Click Next.
Select Sky(MER)_VDSL from the ISP list. Make sure it’s this one, as this is Sky fibre. The other Sky option in the list is for Sky Broadband and will not work for fibre connections.
In the username field, enter abcdefgh@skydsl
In the password field, enter 1234567890abcdef
Click Next, then set up your wireless settings how you want them setting. Personally, I disabled 2.4GHz and used only 5GHz to help the signal. Click Next.
The TP-Link will then test the Internet connection and you should see a success message. If you do not, wait for the DSL light to stop flashing and try again – it should work just fine.
That’s it! You’re now connected to Sky fibre via your new TP-Link router.

**Q: Will this moden router work with not tv fiber?**
A: Yes, just select ‘Sky (mer)’ from the list of ISPs on the router setup menu.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant Modem Router - used instead of Sky router for fibre broadband
*by C***C on 7 January 2018*

This VDSL/ADSL Modem router is simply amazing. I have used the simple term "router" to refer to this and competitor/alternative products. I was at the point of adding a NAS to my network and needing switching to fibre broadband when I found out that the Sky router offered had a very limited number of ethernet ports - certainly less than the older one it was meant to be replacing. Additionally, I read reviews commenting on the poor range they were getting from their new Sky fibre broadband router. I therefore decided to do some research. I was somewhat put off by the relatively high price for this router but having read the reviews struggled to ignore them. What buyer's remorse was to be had was very short lived. The router came very well packaged and exudes class and quality. Setting up the router was dead easy and even setting it up for Sky (instead of the replacement router they sent me) was straightforward requiring no 3rd party software anywhere in the process. TP-link have all the necessary info on their website for this. I set up my 2GHz wireless network, my 5Gz network and importantly, a guest network for when friends and family visit and I don't want them leaving with my key network passwords in their mobile phones. The router has worked flawlessly, supporting all my usual audio-visual smart equipment, mobile phones, laptops, printers and anything else we have thrown at it. It has excellent range and I pick up a good clear signal wherever I am in the house and indeed out in the garden. I am no IT geek so not able to go into any detail about any of the advanced features or aspects that could drive the score to less than 5 stars. What I can say though is that I have had no issues with this router - and yes, it's very fast! Very highly recommended!
