TP-Link is generally a good choice of brand when looking for a router or mesh system if you just want something you can easily set up with minimal fuss. They have a wide range of products no matter what your budget is so just go for whatever is affordable to you. AC Wireless will do the job, but ideally look for WiFi 6 or 6E if you can afford it and want to really make the most out of your gigabit connection.
You'll need to contact Vodafone by phone or live chat. They'll happily text you your PPPoE username and password. Once you've got this you can use your own router or mesh system without having to connect it via Vodafone's own router first - And you should notice an improvement in your WiFi after that."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52158212","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"TristanDeCoonha"},"datePublished":"2024-02-07T23:27:25.000Z","text":"Run a wire.

Just phone up and request - will only send one at a time (usually) OR
download their app and it will take you through a room by room test and if any room is showing poor connection or speeds (might be below 20) you can order one through the App right there and then.
I have 2 on my package - ran a test in the back garden and ordered one from that"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52162293","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"m0nkeylover"},"datePublished":"2024-02-08T16:14:07.000Z","text":"I second the comment about just buying an aftermarket router.
I've got an Asus, used them for over a decade now, excellent routers with solid range.
If you're feeling flush the Ubiquiti brand is probably as good as it gets, you'll never have to worry about wifi / speed issues again."}],"commentCount":12,"interactionStatistic":1,"articleSection":"Ask"}
