Just found Kitz's 2014 review and that was good https://kitz.co.uk/routers/zyxel_VMG8324-B10A_review.htm, bar for the problem of setting up VDSL with Quickstart. A good guide was given, but since then has the firmware been upgraded to avoid that necessity; anyone know?

[tubaman]

Afraid I've not used Quickstart on my VMG8924, and it's on the line right now so I can't really experiment.
Personally I wouldn't worry about that as they are easy enough to set-up as per Kitz's guide.

Well, that's life for me! There seems to be a dearth of cheap, new condition vmg8324 routers on Ebay, rather more 8924s.

Voip is another matter; whether the befits would ever outweigh the hassle for us two oldies, whose calls around 25/month are contained in my Plusnet Anytime call plan. I know  that I can leave that service alone, but are there similar routers without Voip?

[tubaman]

If an 8924 is available at a price you're happy with then get one of those.
They're just an 8324 with a 5GHz wireless module added, everything else is identical.

I admit that you do take a bit of a chance with tech on eBay, but if something is not as the seller described it eBay will nearly always favour on the buyers side and refund your money.
I've had a lot of very good buys from there.

GaryW Thanks for joining in, but we do have articles needing WiFi.

No VDSL2!

I'm confused! What type of fibre is it in the description I posted?

Broadband Buyer describes it

Code: [Select]

Billion BiPAC 7800DXL Triple-WAN Simultaneous Dual-Band WiFi ADSL2+/FTTC Router w/ 3G/4G LTE Support (600Mbps N)
7800DXL

sorry my bad yes your right it does include fttc

The 7800DXL supports Fibre in the sense it has an Ethernet WAN port for you to connect a Fibre modem.

sorry my bad yes your right it does include fttc

You were right the first time - it is ADSL only. As ejs has pointed out FTTC needs a separate modem which plugs in to the WAN port.
