Full Fibre - Use of my own Router

dfc5967 — Fri, 24 May 2024 15:17:17 GMT

TalkTalk has offered me a free upgrade from Fast Broadband to full fibre broadband service with an average speed of 152Mb/s. Before I agree to the proposed installation date I have a number of questions.

1) Will I still be able to use my Draytek Vigor 2762n router. I mainly use Ethernet connection and only use WiFi for tablets?

2) I also need the Digital Voice (VoIP) using my existing TalkTalk phone number. Can this be done without using a TalkTalk router?

Hi @dfc5967 my personal favourite router and very interested to read the formal answers to your questions. You won't hear till Monday but my opinions, not facts, are as follows.

1 Yes should have no issues at all as the fibre box will have an output the draytek can use.

2 As we both know the draytek 2762 N can handle voip but doesn't have a phone socket so you'll probably need a grandstream box or similar.

I'll be very happy to be proved wrong and look forward to hearing how you progress.

Morning,

As far as I am aware the VOIP service provided by us will only work via the eero with a Digital Voice Adapter or with the Wifi Hub 2 router.
