| 1465514 | 2019-12-11 01:22:00 | Ok, thanks very much guys. I just hadn't seen a modem like this which physically plugs itself in at the base. Anyway, I will just sign up and as usual. Thanks. Plugs in? Looks like it might just be screwed down to the cabinet to stop it falling over. |

I tried to pull mine apart last week when packing it away in the original box until I realised it was meant to be packed away intact. | John H (8) | ||

Wifi still works fine even though its in a metal box | gary67 (56) | ||

| 1465520 | 2020-01-03 06:05:00 | I'm just getting Fibre this month - awaiting Chorus - and I've been given the bog standard modem. Are there advantages in going to (say) PBTech and buying an off the shelf brand name to get better results? Anybody using those plug in boosters to boost range? |

| 1465521 | 2020-01-03 06:21:00 | Go with the Spark free modem and see how it works for you. If you then have problems spend some money and upgrade. Of course if you have unlimited funds go for it but practicaly the free version works just fine for most people. | CliveM (6007) | ||
