    I'm just close to end of contract with Vodafone and as they are cheapest in my area I would prefer to stay with them.

    But their modem is a joke, terrible stability (need to restart it daily), poor signal (need extender for upstairs), and most importantly no gigabit network support O_o (that one Really shocked me)

    I'm planning to upgrade modem to some tplink but I have read many posts from Vodafone users that it's almost impossible to get settings to set up 3rd party modem.

    Is it still a case?

    Does puretelecom or eir provide those settings?

    I'm with Vodafone and have my own gigabit wired network with wireless access points.

    The Vodafone modem just provides an internet gateway and nothing else. I don't ask it to be a router of any variety. Even disabled DHCP and assigned one static IP to the gigabit router.

    Works perfectly well.

    So best way is just forgot about it and get a nice router.
