Hello Mr Paul
I really do want all wifi completely off at night.
I know that the government says it's safe and effective, but I don't believe a word of it.
Anyhow, it is now all working on the TP-Link router.
My main problems were
1) forgetting that the user in the router needs "@plusdsl.net" on the end !
2) trying to use the newly assigned network name etc which came with the Hub, when I just ignore everything that cam with it and the TP-Link just carries on as before on ye olde FTTC
Something which helped, at least to confirm I was doing the right thing - and really, it's simple, is this step by step description ... https://support.aquiss.net/en/knowledgebase/article/router-setup-guide-tp-link-archer-vr600
Someone mentioned the speed of a 6 year old router, but in reality the old FTTC has been 70 or above all these years, which was fast enough for everything we do.
FTTP is simply a) cheaper and b) I don't need a phone which only receives scam calls !
I don't expect this new connection to be any noticeably faster
Most of the speed-talk is just marketing hype as far as I'm concerned.
Anyhow, thanks to all who joined in
Still, if anyone has a good (or bad) alternative to the Hub, I'd be interested to hear just in case, because my kit is getting on a bit
