Using My existing router with Talktalk fibre package

aidihant — Thu, 30 Mar 2023 12:37:40 GMT

Hi, Fibre has finally arrived in my area so i'm thinking of upgrading my service to the data 150 plan. I'm currently getting around 50mb download speed on the faster fibre plan. I'm using an Asus RTAC87u router connected to an openreach modem. I have hard drives connected to enable me to use it as a nas and i'm also able to run a vpn server so I am reluctant to swap it for the offered Eero6. Would I still be able to keep using my existing router on the new service?

Kind Regards

Adrian

Hello,

We can only recommend using the TalkTalk equipment, however one of our members may be able to offer some advice.

Thanks

Looking briefly at the router spec I don't see why not. Once the install has taken place just disconnect the router from the existing Openreach modem and connect it to the new ONT.
