Vodafone Fibre modem?

Petetheroadie · 2014-01-18 22:26:46

Hi Guys, Just signed up to Vodafone Fibre this afternoon, and they're sending me out a new modem. Anyone know what it is? Is it any good? Are others replacing it with something better? Thanks, Pete

I've got one for about two months now - good wifi coverage, no lockups, no hangs. Port forwards fine including xbox. Runs cool. Looks crap, but you could hide it behind a photo. Much better than the ADSL modem supplied by VF which I binned after about a week. Should be ok unless you have tricky network or wifi needs. You have to use the modem (or find another VDSL modem which is vectoring compliant). If you have specific network needs you can put it into bridged mode (there is a thread) and use a different router.
