Hi there,
I am a bit of a networking numpty and need some advice.
I currently have BT Infinity and a BT Smarthub. I have the wifi turned off as I use Devolo 1200 homeplugs for wifi duties. From the smart hub I run one Ethernet cable into a Netgear 16port switch which takes ethernet to varies devices like my TV, PS4, BT box and off around my house via installed ethernet cables etc. I run this one cable to the switch because I had read that the Smarthub was not a great switch.
Anyway, I was wondering whether I could improve on the BT Smarthub and was looking at Vigor 130 ADSL/VDSL2 Modem. So could I use this product as a replacement for the Smarthub? Do I need a separate router? Is there anything else I should look at?
Thanks
