Technicolour dwa0120 g.Fast?


[link to this post]
 
Hi,

I am due to get my line upgraded next week to gfast with an estimated speed of 325mb.
I have been sent a router in the post - technicolor dwa0120. It looks as if it only supports adsl2 an vdsl2?
I suspect it may be incorrect as I cannot find any spec on the internet confirming it supports g.fast?
I contacted my new ISP and was told it will work!?!
Could anyone confirm this is a suitable modem/router? Or am I right in thinking it's not going to work & my install will be a disaster!

Many thanks
Tony

Could it be that your new ISP has ordered an Openreach supplied standalone g.Fast modem, then the router you have been sent will connect to that ?

If you tell the forum who you have ordered through there might be someone with specific info.

Hi Zarjaz,

Many thanks for your quick response!
The provider is Shell energy. If anyone has any experience with them.
( I suggested this when I phoned to query it but they didn't seem to know!)
But on a brighter note if openreach supply a standalone modem I could probably just connect my Asus router and not need the technicolour at all!! 😁

Best regards
Tony

Cheers Tone, input like that helps this forum help those who find their way to these pages.

🤞 It goes well.

I have g.Fast myself, with a nice stable 330/50 sync.
