Fibre 150 install requirements

[astrospud]

Hi

I am booked for a Fibre 150 upgrade from Fibre 65 this Friday. 

After reading some of the posts here I am a bit concerned if its the right thing to do. Already Talktalk messed up twice with the contract upgrade and equipment sent to me. 

I already have a mesh TT router. I have my security system connected via a powerline - ethernet connection. 

I have been sent the Eero router, then after more requests the Grandstream device for my landline. 

How many power sockets are required in total for the new setup?  As I am a bit limited for spare sockets.  Talk talk tech rep said the install guy will sort it all out - is this correct?  

I notice none are USB powered. 

As I work from home, what do I do if my Fibre does not work as contracted, and how does the internet back up work?

You will need a separate power socket for the ONT, the eero and the DVA. A bit of a pain, I know. You might need something like this, that's what I use.

Hi @astrospud 

The only mesh TT router is the Eero mesh router. I don't know if that's what you mean.

Regarding the number of power sockets, it can be from 3 to 5, depending which router you finally use.

On the other hand, you can use an extension lead with at least the required number of sockets.

If you use the Eero mesh router, you will probably also need to buy a 1-Gbit 5-port switch, as the Eero only has 2 ethernet ports.

This will allow you to connect the powerline.
