Hi,

 

I currently have BT Inifinity (Smart Hub) plus 4 x TP-Link powerline adapters.  Broadband stability and bandwidth seem fine, but I have all sorts of problems with wifi dropping out multiple times/day.

 

Wifi uses currently are:

 

- BT Cloudphone system

- Ingenico wifi card teminal

- Sonos sound system

- Smart TV

- 2 x MacBooks

- Multiple iPhones/iPads

 

I am going to replace the BT Smart Hub and need a new modem/router, but rather than using the powerline adapters, I want a whole home wifi mesh system. I was looking at the TP-Link VRxxx as the VDSL modem/router, but can anyone tell me if I can also reliably connect into this to something like the TP-Link Deco system, or am I likely to have problems?

 

I am so fed up, that cost really isn't a constraint - I just want really reliable wifi from multiple access points.

 

All advice welcome.

 

Thanks.  Rod.

The TP-LINK VDSL modem router is no problem to work with the deco system.
