You're bang on, with regards to no modem required, cable router needed, and connectivity. The auto setup will detect it and start working because it's the most basic type of connection.


As for the router, I've just seen your link, I forgot it was that expensive (I got mine very cheap second hand).


If I were you, I'd buy something cheaper. AX WiFi6 is extortionate, because its brand new tech, but that will come down over the next couple of years as it becomes the norm. If I were you, I wouldn't invest so much money in an AC router that's tech is already on the way out.


I'd suggest this instead: TP-Link AC1750 Dual Band Wireless Gigabit Cable Router, USB 2.0 Ports, Support Guest Network, UK Plug (Archer C7) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00CEB53MS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_-JBWCbA70WQVY


It's not quite as capable, but it's WAY cheaper, and considering you only have the 150mbps package, it will still be just as capable of maxing it out.


The Asus one I have is completely overkill for us both. The kinds of WiFi top speeds it can deliver are higher than the tp link, sure, but it depends on the connecting devices supporting 3x3 or 4x4 WiFi, which no mobile phone or laptop can anyway. You'd literally have to invest £100 on a wificard for a desktop pc to get that kind of headline speed on WiFi, which just doesn't make sense. Even if you do want to use this with a desktop, your in a flat, you may aswell just run an ethernet, how far could it be? Those headline speeds are also going to be impossible to hit in noisy environments, like a flat.


So, get the TPlink instead, it will be just as fast for connecting to most mobile devices, assuming you don't have loads of devices trying to download at once. And it's still way faster than Google WiFi.

It's a third of the price of the Asus, save that money for when you do move out in the future to a bigger place and use it for an upgrade to WiFi6/AX

That's great to hear, so generally what I need specifically is a cable router? from what I gather with Hyperoptic being FTTP the actual wall socket is essentially the modem and that feeds via ethernet cable into the stock cable router?

I was looking at something like this.

Really appreciated for the test etc, thanks for all the advice!

Agreed. I got this one based on a response on this subreddit and its improved the wi-fi stability considerably: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00CEB53MS

The router Hyperoptic has shipped in the past will cap out at 450Mpbs ish because it doesn't support anything more. Contact Hyperoptic and ask for a fit for purpose router or buy something along these lines:

TP-Link Archer C50 AC1200 Wireless Dual Band Wi-Fi Cable Router https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B075PDLQ2Y/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_i_PK2RCbP1RABQS
