aftermarket router for vodafone 900mbps

[Vish Petrol]

Hi I signed up to vodafone at the end of last year and the supplied router does a reasonable job, but needs restarting every other day, and ive read that the wireless speeds aren't as fast as other routers.

We have the broadband voice and have one of the vodafone range extenders and a zen range extender both wirelessly linked which dont seem to do anything to help speeds or range.

We regularly have multiple phones, laptops, verisure security and arlo cameras connected.

Can anyone recommend routers that I can replace it with that will work with broadband voice?

On which the 2 highest rated are the AsusRT-AX92U and the TP-LinkArcher AX90 AX6600 but I dont know if they areits compatible or how I would set them up?

How is Vodafone's broadband voice service delivered?

From their website

What is Vodafone Digital Voice (VoIP)?​

Digital Voice or VoIP (voice over internet protocol) connects your home phone to your router and uses your broadband connection to make and receive calls.
This is a little different to a traditional landline phone, which plugs into your home phone socket and uses the copper telephone network. The old copper network is being turned off, and by 2025 everyone will need to move onto digital phone lines instead.

How do I know if I have Digital Voice?​

If you have Digital Voice, you plug your phone cable into your WiFi Hub, instead of plugging it straight into the wall

So it sounds like you can't replace the Vodafone router then, you can either add another router and end up with a double-NAT situation, or add wireless access points to your existing setup.

If the Vodafone router needs restarting daily then try getting that swapped by Vodafone.

So id just plug the new one into the lan port of the vodafone one and connect the devices to the new router?

I've ordered a wifi 6 access point and ill disable the wifi 5 on the vodafone router. The speed over ethernet is good its just the wireless speed that drops massively as soon as you're more than a few feet away. Also when all 3 of us are in the house the speed is also much worse.

I think because the vodafone routers arent wifi 6 it doesnt help.
Managed to order 2 ax1800 access points for £40 each.
