Router Upgrades

Hi Folks

I need advice please, this is a bit techy, sorry. At present I have a very old Belkin N Nimo + Router (Hub) and Delvo Extender Hard Wired into it (and plugged into the wall electrical socket) with a Hard Wires Connected to my TV, DVD and another device (Now TV box, Nintendo box etc) using another Delvo plug-in box downstairs.

This worked well a few years ago, but things have moved on now and I recently tried to plug an Amazon Fire TV stick into my Samsung Smart TV and connect it to the Wifi without success.

Questions: (1) do I need a new router? (2) If I purchased a BT Smart Hub 2, Would I still be able to use my Delvo Extender(s)? (3) Would I need the Extenders if I had the Smart Hub 2 to get the Amazon Fire stick working?

Any help please?

many thanks

Nick

Do you have BT Broadband and if so what Hub did they provide and why are you not using that?

If you have Talk Talk broadband, a BT hub won't work. They are locked to BT.

You need to post on the Talk Talk forum.
