Hello,
I am a TalkTalk fibre customer (uk) and currently I have a BT Open Reach ECI B-Focus V-2FUb/r Rev. B Modem and have my Asus RT-AC68U router connected to modem.
The BT modem has been playing up just recently, I've never been happy with it anyway, I am after a better more reliable modem that will work with my router and TalkTalk fibre service. Do you have any suggestions on a compatible modem from the products you sell please?
I am confused with all the jargon when looking for a modem as I'm a fibre customer do I have to make sure for example it says VDSL and or vdsl2? am I right in thinking ADSL/adsl2 is for the the old broadband and not compatible with fibre services?
It seems I could buy a router/modem in one and set it to bridge support, would that work? seems buyingjust modems compatible with fibre is becoming difficult unless I'm wrong.
I do have a TalkTalk HG635 which has router/modem all in one as on back it has red colour WAN port and DSL port. Could I use that if it support being in bridge mode thingy?
Any modem recommendations? want to pay not much about £40 max if possible.
Sorry for questions just need to clear my confusion lol.
Thank you,
Mat
