WiFi 6 Router/Modem for BT Fiber

McG — Tue, 21 Dec 2021 10:59:05 GMT

Hi,

I am sure it has been asked and covered before but I couldn't find a definitive answer.

Are there any WiFi 6 plug n play router/modems on the market for use with BT Fiber 900?

You would just have to configure the PPPoE settings which is very easy.

If you have Fibre 900 you don't need a modem, the ONT is the modem.

@McG The Asus RT-AX88U is very popular.

Beware of Netgear devices, unless they have changed their stance they didn't support BT's /56PD implementation of IPv6

I have a Netgear Orbi RBK750 and IPV6 works fine with BT. They seem to have updated the firmware for newer models to work with BT now.

I use Fibre 900 and connected it using a Netgear RAX200 WiFi 6 router directly to the ONT but this frequently disconnected. I sent it back. I now use Unifi equipment and this has been very stable without a single drop out. You will only get faster WiFi6 speeds if your device supports WiFi6.
