How many networks / SSIDs can a router support
I am considering replacing my router to put the IOT devices on to their own network.
The router need to support a DECT landline phone.
Vodafone is our ISP.
Which routers can provide DECT landline and three networks ( main, IOT and guest)?

Hello All
It has been confirmed that the Archer VR2800 does not support the IoT Network either.
@MrSimon
You might actually want to consider a standard Wi-Fi router if your internet connection comes via an Ethernet port.

@SmilerIan Which routers support DECT landline phones and allow separate main, IoT, and guest networks with Vodafone ISP compatibility?

@MrSimon the external connection uses an Ethernet cable but plugs into a dedicated socket on the router. Believe it is a DSL line so don't think I can use a standard WIFI router. If you know differently please let me know along with, if possible, a router you could recommend.
Wouid like it to support main, guest and IOT SSIDs pkus DECT phone.
My gut feeling is best to just add a WiFi extender from Vodafone for £3 a month.
Cheers,
Ian

You can easily distinguish between the DSL port, which is RJ-11 (same as for DECT phones) and an ethernet port, which is RJ-45 for an ethernet connection:

The RJ-11 is narrow and it has 4 pins, while the RJ45 is wider and it has 8 pins.
