Bridging Question

    Hi,
    I have Eir Fibre FTTC with the F2000 router. The router’s wireless is crap. This is the second router eir have given me as eir said that the original router was faulty.

    My router only does 5g for the past year. It did do the 2.4g for a few months but then gradually just stopped working. After a while resetting it just did nothing and the router just doesn’t acknowledge the issue. So I’m using one of them TP-Link power line things to get the 2.4g signal as not all the devices in my house will support 5g.

    I’m thinking of just getting a new router instead of another one of the routers eir supplies. I’m not sure if I should buy Vdsl router or just bridge my eir router to new router. I’m thinking it’s probably cheaper to buy a router that doesn’t support vdsl.

    Does bridging the F2000 router to another (which doesn’t support Vdsl) affect the speed? Or should I go ahead and get something like the Asus dsl ac88u which will support the vdsl.

    Ideally as there are many devices used on my network at the same time I wanted something that supports the MU-MIMO.

    You can buy a cable router and put it into bridge mode. I find that some models it my be hard to find the setting. But you can go to the support section of the manufacturer's website or google the situation.

    Yeah I think I’ll go the bridge route. It’s more cost effective that buying a standalone vdsl router. Thanks Jpmarn ðŸ‘
