YouFibre

On paper, yes. The software on a VM hub is truly dire though.

Those Sagem boxes look very capable so I'd try and get one of those over the Amazon-owned Eero.
 
I'll see if I can ask the man to give me a sagecom, I'd appreciate WiFi 7 as well. I'll get some nice biscuits.
 
I got my Youfibre 1Gb installed today and the install went well and the auto transfer worked although I did have to call them during the ordering as their website kept failing to find my account. Testing and going from VM350 to this is such a improvement. I had several devices on a different IP range as vm uses 192.168.0.# and this uses 192.168.0.#, the installer saw my vm hub and said he gave me the NVG578LX instead of the other router as this has more NIC ports. Not sure what the other would have been but suspect EERO, but changing the IP range was simple and meant I never had to do a lot of config on my devices :)

I noticed this over on the YouFibre reddit and thought I'd repost it here. It looks like YouFibre are going to be rolling out new YouFibre WiFi 7 routers and YouMesh WiFi 7 Boosters to new customers going forward.

YouFibre Hub (FAST 5598 YF) - User Guide
YouFibre Hub Pro (FAST5599 YOUFIBRE) - User Guide
YouMesh Booster (FAST 281 YOUFIBRE) - User Guide

They're all rebadged Sagemcom units.
I had the middle one (YouFibre Hub Pro) with my install last week, i think it has a DNS bug in the software as even though im setting LAN DNS as Static for DHCP with my two internal DNS Servers listed, it still pumps out 192.168.1.1 as part of DHCP (it probably needs a reset), it also didn't like me adding a whole load of MAC addresses to static IP's all in one go (applying at the end) it threw a wobble, i had to do it 1 by 1 add the MAC/IP>Apply ,rinse repeat, no SNMP on it either which is kind of expected for a consumer grade router from an ISP but it would be a nice addition, other than that its been rock solid, non intrusive doing its thing. I cant comment on the WiFi7 as i have turned that off as i use my own AP's at the mo, but may switch back to its own WiFi at some point as you get full control over the SSID's split how you want them, channels etc and good signal from it when i briefly tested on the day of install.
 
The Eero port forwarding doesn't work, why does it have such a feature if it doesn't work? Tried to forward 25565 for my desktop and it still doesn't work.
 
Mine works fine, forwards the plex port and RDP ports to my media server without issue.
 
Am I doing something wrong, minecraft port, forward TCP/UDP, on my desktop pc, showing my desktop IP, then I should now be able to connect from externally to the server?
 
What's your WAN IP as reported by the router? YouFibre use CGNAT and it's £5/month to get a public IP.

And you've verified that your static IP is what's being used, yes?

Yeah begins with 193 and the guy on support chat said it was indeed static IP, WAN IP address remains same as yesterday.

I assumed the port should be forwarded against the WAN ip address rather than the individual system? But that's not possible, anyway I forwarded it for the PC my server runs on , I then went onto a different computer / my phone, typed in the IP of the PC and it was blocked, tried it on the PC as well, blocked.

I have the arris hub and 1gb so don't think I have WiFi 7, but if yours is the same on the WiFi home page tab if you disable that you can change the WiFi channels separately

That sounds like a NAT issue. Use a port checker website by entering your WAN IP and the port in question (whilst the server is running!) and see if it reports the port is open. You should have your domain and/or IP set up with the router forwarding from WAN IP (or 'this firewall' or however Eero words it) to the local address and port of the machine. It sounds like hairpin NAT just isn't enabled, meaning outside your network can get in but you can't connect back on yourself locally.
 
First ever YouFiber outage since signing up in Jan-25, got an email from them to say there was an issue, let's see how long it takes them to fix.

Just had this email from them:

'We wanted to provide you with an update on the YouFibre broadband services in your area. Our engineers have located and identified the cause of the fault, and are working to resolve the issue as quick as possible. We expect to hear an update on the works shortly and we will be back in touch as soon as we have news from them.'

Unsure what else to do, it only lets me forward the port for my PC port.

On another note, not sure if it's related to Youfibre, but since moving from virgin media to youfibre, remote streaming my desktop with moonlight client, the latency is much lower, I'm at my parents 60 miles away and the latency is like 1ms, but it was 14+ with VM. even at 50mbit stream the quality just seems better.

I had the same in Preston, email saying work needs to be carried out. But ok. nothing went offline on my smart tech throughout the home. Nothing rebooted, happy days
