Hello,

I’ve just bought a HUAWEI AX6 Wifi Router. Picture attached. When I install this, will I need to take out both the wifi hub and the large main router? also picture attached

Thanks

I can see the WIFI Hub, but which is the large main router? Is it the one immediately behind the WIFI Hub?

@synxfr

What service do you currently have and what is the "main router" as you call it connected to from the incoming side?

Sorry, I should also have said is that in fact a modem, rather than a router?

OK, in which case you should be able to install your new router in place of the TalkTalk Hub, i.e. connect it directly to the modem, subject to the appropriate settings.
