Pre-sales enquiry modem with timer app
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I want advice on which modem to buy.
It needs to be a modem that a) allows me to turn off devices/all devices via an app. b) This is devices connected via wifi or via an ethernet cable plugged into a TP link powerline. c) This needs to be timer configurable. Eg. turns of at night automatically.
d) The speed of the data on the modem only needs to match the basic EE modem provided by them – e) and be compatible with them: “Routers supporting Ethernet WAN (you might hear these called Ethernet or cable routers) can be used to connect to our Fibre Broadband service.”
Do you have a router and app that provides this please.
Thank you for posting on the TP-Link Community.
a) allows me to turn off devices/all devices via an app.
Kevin_Z: Mostly all the Archer VDSL modem can support this, you may check this guide, and see if it matches your requirement: https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/2584/.
b) This is devices connected via wifi or via an ethernet cable plugged into a TP link powerline.
Kevin_Z: The modem should be plugged into the DSL line directly when working as a DSL modem router, it can be plugged into a powerline adapter with an Ethernet cable when working as wireless router mode. The models with a WAN port can achieve this, such as Archer VR2100: https://www.tp-link.com/home-networking/dsl-modem-router/archer-vr2100/#specifications
c) This needs to be timer configurable. Eg. turns of at night automatically.
Kevin_Z: The models with Wireless Schedule feature should support this, such as Archer VR2100:
d) The speed of the data on the modem only needs to match the basic EE modem provided by them
e) and be compatible with them: “Routers supporting Ethernet WAN (you might hear these called Ethernet or cable routers) can be used to connect to our Fibre Broadband service.”
Kevin_Z: All the models should be compatible with EE internet, you may check what is the bandwidth you got from them, then choose the approprete model:
