Recommend new router for BT full fibre please

[Avalon]

Right found a BT hub 2 I have so will test this now and see what it's like

It appears I'm on contract with BT for another year so it will have to be an upgrade with them going to speak to them and see what deal i can get .

With regards to my powerplugs sees this is what the TP-link app shows me off my desktop computer



Thank you

Try running iperf between devices connected to those plugs at either end, I suspect you will find the actual results a lot lower unfortunately

Spoke to bt on chat contracted till 2026 .

Can get full fibre 900MB for £44 .

Didn’t realise they needed to send a engineer out assume they don’t need to dig drive or lawn up does anyone know .

Did try try a old bt hub I have found wifi seemed to work but cameras and alarm on the house didn’t no idea why .

Soon a switched backto my old one they were fine.

Yeah needs an engineer
Each install can be different in how
They get it into your property
Mine was underground so they prepped it all
Brought it up and to a box on exterior of the building
Even with the preparation work done
Still needs an engineer to take it through the wall
Then run it to where you want
And install the ONT
The ONT replaces the modem you needed before
So only need a router

Even if you name your wifi the same
And same wifi password
Some devices get temperamental and may need to
Set them up again
Don't forget to get your isp log in details before switching router
If you don't know what they are

Fibre isn't magic, they do actually need to run it to the property, replacing the existing copper line, that may be brought in via ground via duct or micro trench, or mast depending on the area. Reboot the client devices and you'll likely find they work, if not remove and re-add the network.

Yeah thought they'd use the line i have to be fair didn't really think they'd need to run a new line and box there .
Will retest the cameras and reboot them up but strange as there hardwired in so thought they'd work fine . As for the Alarm thats my installer as i can't access anything from here to join the network it's on .

Thanks for the reply will test things again later and see if it works rebooting other than alarm . I assume the fact my old router is http://192.168.1.1 and the Bt ones seems to be 192.168.1.254 that wouldn’t mess up the IPs of the camera and alarm, just guessing and not sure myself atm ?

Thank you
