Not on Vivid 350... We are on Voom Fibre 1
You did notice it’s a *Business* plan and not residential right?

Anyone else found an option which would work? Not sure if I understand why screw on is no good...

People. Is the Linksys WRT3200ACM-UK MU-MIMO still a good router so I can put the SH3 in modem mode?
I need to block websites and the SH3 can't do it.

Its a business plan (installed at home), and yes its different hardware. Hitron router (which I clicked over to modem only mode straight away)
Yes, I did. It says the local infrastructure will only support 38Mbps, but the residential will do 350+. Hence why I asked if it uses different hardware.
I posted a link in response to you
Virgin’s network offers the same speeds nationally, 38Mbit sounds like FTTC via OpenReach, not cable.

Thats what I use with Sh3 in modem mode, its decent enough on the whole. Though could be better in some areas, interface and some options lacking.
If your only wanting to block sites try pi-hole? Raspberry Pi will set you back around £40 or setup a VM.

Thank you
Have you tried OpenWRT on it?
That looks great.
But I should have said that my carer has to be able to deal with it

Pihole is perfect for this, stick flutterHole on your phone so you can easily disable it for 5 minutes if a particular site is having trouble/complains about adblocking etc.
Pretty easy to setup, just follow a guide, and once in place it works really well and is seamless.
Highlights devices on the network that are being naughty/over-requesting etc, and stops a lot of the ads...
The other half noticed the other night when I disabled it to tweak the network, grumbled that she was getting loads of adverts suddenly.

No as from what I can gather, despite its name, WRT has issue on it so never bothered.
People with more knowledge may correct me on that and I have not looked into it for months so may have changed.
