I just signed a contract to get Vodafonebroadband and I was looking for the router specs. Thank you for this video. It seems the router is kind of basic but OK. I have a more advanced ASUS router wich is 6 years old but still has more advanced features.

[@trident1314]

It really sucks that they removed the option to manually change the WiFi channel on both frequencies on these routers, drives me nuts! Be interested to know if they've done same thing on their new ultra hub

This video is supposed to help others navigate around the settings and as such is perfect, maybe except him not recording his cursor - but it's a minor nitpick. You wanting to see his face makes you sound like a creep, you realise that?

I ditched my Vodafone router as the WiFi kept disconnecting. I changed to a TP Link Archer MR600 with 4G failover and a Grand stream HT801 SIP adapter for the phone, all works well and more reliable WiFi

Thanks for this video. A question about the DNS settings on the router - if I manually change my DNS via Windows Ethernet Properties but not on the router, which DNS settings take priority, the ones in Windows or the 'automatic' ones on the router?

[@EclipseReviews]

If you change the DNS settings within Windows/MacOS/iOS or Android they will override and take priority over the router setting’s.

Hi, trying to setup a second router on one network, so the 2nd router is just an access point doesn’t connect to the internet only through lan cable to the 1st router they are exactly the same as this one in your video, but having issues like losing connection need video on how to do this if you can please thanks

[@andrewarmitage9491]

Thank you for taking the time for this video. I have a question please. The WiFi schedule seems to not work very well on my friends Vodafone. My friends kid has also worked out they can just download the app and sign in as a guest. Due to them using an apple phone I can not hide the password from them. Long story, but impossible to control their access with the WiFi schedule. The question is please, can I with this Vodafone router set a schedule so the whole router switches off? Obviously then they will not have the password for the router admin as this clears every time you close the webpage which is not stored in the kids phone anyway. In your vid it shows the WiFi schedule but not the router schedule. On my sky router you can schedule the router. Unfortunately they live quite a way away and I can't just pop around there to check. Any help will be massively massively appreciated.

[@alexmac1953]

Watched the video helped a bit as im not tech savvy.. how do switch off 5ghz.. or change to 2.4ghz. Thanks

[@DamienOBrien-jj9sd]

I was hoping to find the answer to this question also.

[@EclipseReviews]

You should see the setting in your router menu: Choose 'Expert Mode' > Wi-Fi (Top Menu) > Wi-Fi Settings. The menu should show toggle switches to switch off either WiFi band.

[@EclipseReviews]

But if you do not see this option then Vodafone blocks this feature if you have Super Wi-Fi .

[@woodentie8815]

Again, I watched the video in the hope that it would tell me how to turn off 5ghz temporarily so I can connect my smart devices. Seems a bit daft that, as you say, Vodafone blocks this if you have super Wi-Fi? Ergo, my various smart devices are now useless!🙁

[@TypeRhino]

Hi, i have a company called EDC renewables we fit solar. We are fitting solar and battery installation for a customer who has this system. The wifi dongle for the battery will not connect to the wifi. I am thinking that section 10.35 needs to be enabled for the dongle to connect with the router, Do you think this is correct?

[@EclipseReviews]

10:35 refers to the backup WiFi 4G dongle can only work when plugged into the side USB port on the router (you have to remove the black plastic cover). This is a backup 4G just in case you internet goes down, you should not need to change any setting within the router. FYI - the USB 4G dongle will not work when plugged in to another device. If you device is unable to connect to the Vodafone WiFi then it may be to far away as it will disconnect devices if there are to far away or the signal is too weak, so a wifi extender may be required.

[@Im_Pickle_Rick_]

I think they removed the feature to switch between advanced and basic, since I've been trying alot to access advanced mode to port forward. Is there anyway I can do this?

[@EclipseReviews]

My router is still showing the option to change, perhaps you have different firmware. Sorry I could not be of more help

[@TheDupakin]

Can you install a VPN on these router? Thanks.

[@EclipseReviews]

No does not have a feature for this, but you can use something like a Smart DNS service if you only want to change the location of your devices. But this option does not hide or encrypt your traffic like a VPN.

How do you change the router from VDSL to Wan mode? I've plugged my Virgin Media Hub3 (in Modem Mode) into the WAN port and although it shows a Fibre connection it's not getting an IP address and hence not connecting to the internet.

Good video, thanks. Any idea why I cannot access the router over the internet using the assigned public IP address. I gt to a login page but it says my password is incorrect (when I know it is right!). Are there some settings that need changing from the default to enable this remote access?

[@EclipseReviews]

Security of the router will sometimes block connections from outside the router for security. Best was to access is via the Vodafone Broadband App or using a VPN setup at home.

Anytime I change my dns I feel like I my bro use gets a injection type rerouting virus. I forget the proper name for it. But it eventually comes to the point where when I search for something it comes back in Chinese or a completely unrelated result. Then a typical reinstall of windows and default the router brings things back to normal. In short , changing my dns either on the router or a individual pc never ends up prosperous. VPNs dns is a different story mostly positive .. Just my 2 cents

[@alanharris3061]

Hi. Watched the video which was very good. I am having an issue which I'm guessing requires a setting changing. I have setup the jellyfin media server on my second pc. It works fine locally but I cannot get it to connect remotely. I have emby on the main pc and that connects both locally and remotely. It has made entries in the ipv4 section for both pc ip addresses but jellyfin will not connect remotely. I looked at ipv6 it let's me put the port number and service in but not the device name and then says need device name. I cannot see it is a limit of the router as it works for emby but cannot resolve the remote access issue in jellyfin. Any thoughts

I accidentally disabled http-access to the admin panel. Any possibility to revert that, witout resetting the router?

Yes, if you login to your router via the web browser (chrome/edge) and goto: Advanced Settings > Administration > System (tab) - Under Local Access Config > Look for 'Authentication Method' and select the drop down next to is to 'Both' then click 'Apply' button. This will enable http and https

You can change the WiFi Name (SSID) and Password to something you prefer. Also you can split the WiFi bands, but if you have Super WiFi with a WiFi extender then you cannot as Vodafone will lock the settings.

Under the options there is nothing for parental controls o the Vodafone router, you would think this would be a basic feature for security.

You can replace the Vodafone router with another one, but if you have a home phone line then you will need to look at something called double NAT and this gets technical. Also you will need to speak with Vodafone customer service to get you login details. But if you have no home phone then is much easier to swap

It's super easy to set up and you just plug it into the ethernet port of the Vodafone router. You also need to go into the Vodafone router app and turn it's WiFi signal off so it doesn't interfere with the TP mesh WiFi. I've got full fibre and an sometimes getting over 620 Mbps. I also changed the main ethernet cable between the Vodafone and TP mesh for a CAT 8 Ethernet cable which helped the speeds Hope this helps
