Need a little advice have a few questions don't understand anything about this geek stuff.

I have FTTC with the standard home hub 5 I believe it is, I would really like to update the router so I can have a guest network but mostly to stop the occasional lags while gaming and also just to educate myself a little bit on some basic router configs so here is where I am at.

I have this fascinating webpage www.increasebroadbandspeed.co.uk/best-router-2020 so have a rough idea what I need but I really want a router with built in WI-FI as the basic home hub seems fine.
As far as I can tell something that should work is a Netgear R7000p router and this requires a modem so I have seen a DrayTek Vigor 130 ADSL2+/VDSL Modem

Can anyone please tell me if these will work together.

Next question if the above are fine if I then gave the new wireless network the same name and password as my existing homehub Wi-Fi would all the devices just connect.

This is my first post here so hope the above is all fine.

Thanks in advance.

Great stuff that's exactly what I needed to know, yes the Vigor 130 is something I have acquired for free as luck would have it :)
