Hi all
I am looking at finally moving from 8Mbps ADSL broadband to 76Mbps Fibre with Pulse8.
The Router that I am looking at buying is the TP-Link Archer VR600 which has a built in modem.
I was under the impression that I could just connect this to the filtered master socket and I would be good to go, but they tell me that I still need a separate openreach modem.

Have they got their wires crossed ?
Thanks

That will work without a seperate Openreach modem.
You can still use the Openreach modem if you really want to and use the above linked device purely as a router.

The OP would need to get an Openreach modem then as they're no longer supplied.

Yes, you have the correct answer.
|

|

Why would they need a modem?
The product they have linked is a VDSL modem/router.
|
|
|
More if they want to use an Openreach modem as per your second paragraph because the OP won't already have one.

Ah Matt  . It wasn't at all clear in your first post that you were referring only to the second sentence of the post you replied to. That the OP would need to buy one from somewhere if they wanted to adopt the second option.
From the tone of the OP though I imagine the last thing they want to do is have a two-box solution.

I can't see why "lee111s" said they needed a modem?!
|

Thanks for the replies
So just to summarise. The TP-Link Archer VR600 will be fine to use on it's own without the need of the BT Openreach modem ?
And yes I am just looking for a single box solution. The less clutter/wires the better.
thanks

I don't believe I did say they needed a modem.
I said they COULD still use the Openreach modem if they wanted, but that they didn't need to as the product they linked had a built in VDSL modem.

It will work without an openreach modem. It is an all in one box solution. We can assist if you need help getting it going

My broadband disconnects if someone phones my line.
It was pretty much every time but seems to have reduced following some work by open reach, initially screwing in the connection at the cab (oh dear!) and later a move to new cables D side and E side.
Got a multi-skilled engineer coming to have another look next week, to see if they can get rid of the issue completely.
BT ADSL customer getting 4.1 Mbps (0.9 Mbps up) on a new road / new build development
CAB not FTTC enabled, not part of the 66% commercial plan. Not a BDUK area. Hoping the council will let VM in-fill!

Just informing that the option is there, as some people do still like to use the seperate modem
