Reddit mentions of 2QZ6299 - TP-LINK TD-W8980 Modem/Wireless Router - IEEE 802.11n

Oh I've actually been through the settings before. It's 192.168.1.254, which was odd, but anyway; I weren't able to find the channel settings.

Although, I have an app called WiFi Analyser on my phone and there seems to be a lot of devices.

edit: this might help. my room. Room with the router in it. Parent's room.

edit 2: I'm considering this router though.

Hey there, seeing as the default routers supplied by ISP's tend to be pretty bad in comparison to off the shelf routers (I've had 7 routers now from BT, my ISP, 6 of which i've burnt out, 4 of which burnt out in the past 5 months), at the time i could tell the 7th router was about to go i decided it was finally time to upgrade to a [high end off the shelf router] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-LINK-Archer-VR200-Beamforming-Technology/dp/B0161AC69A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1463768303&sr=8-1&keywords=tp+link+archer+vr200). However i am in the UK and these routers are made in Britain which is very much like being made in China these days, the routers supplied in the US (or where ever you are) may be better made. Besides that i still always strongly recommend changing router from your ISP's router due to my experience with BT. As for the router you have shown, it lacks 5 GHz wireless but claims to allow for 300 Mbps wireless speeds (300 mega bits is 37.5 mega bytes) which is plenty faster than current fibre optic download speeds.

One thing i urge you to check before you by a router though is what socket you use to connect to the internet. As far as i am aware the only two currently used are:

• RJ11 (also known as ADSL or VDSL (VDSL is the same as ADSL but is only used for fibre optic broadband) this will most likely be used if you don't have fibre optics or are using your telephone line to connect to the internet, visually they look like a squished ethernet socket/plug)
  
• RJ45 (This is the same size as an ethernet port and is used for fibre optics usually)
  
  Here's an image of the two side by side. The reason i say this is because most routers only take one or the other, so be sure you buy a router with the right one, if that's what you decide to do. As for routers i recommend:
  
  
• This router is a good all rounder if you connect to the internet via RJ45, it has 5 GHz wireless which is good for wireless devices. I'd recommend spending the extra 10$ if you decide to upgrade router.
  
• As for an ADSL or VDSL routers, for ADSL this will do just fine, for VDSL these are significantly more expensive so buying a switch and maybe a wifi extender which can go in the bedroom may be a better option, unless your willing to spend 70$ to 100$. If you are using VDSL and don't want to spend the extra moolah i recommend buying the switch /u/isthattrulyneeded posted above and a range extender which you plug into a wall socket in your bedroom like this
  
  tl;dr: Buying a new router is probably your best option but make sure you buy a router with the correct socket you use to connect to the internet with. The router you asked about will do just fine assuming you use RJ45 to connect to the internet with but i've posted two others just to give you options. If your using VDSL (fibre optics but using the RJ11 socket) your best option my be to use a switch and a range extender, ive linked you to one but there are others that are available so have a look aswell.
  
  As always feel free to ask any questions and i hope this helps. - Ross
