TP Link Router with NowTv?

Hi,

The router that comes with NowTv as standard is not very good.

Can I use my own router and if so how easy is it to set up? What password, pin etc do I need to put in?

Thanks

Hi Chris

 

I have an Archer VR400 and despite several attempts, the NowTV helpdesk are unable (or maybe unwilling) to tell me how to change from their Hub to this alternative DSL router. Please let me know how you did this "in two minutes". Thanks

Hi I want to replace my NowTV router with a TP link AC1200/Archer400, can anyone help with the setup please as it wont just plug and play so im guessing some settings need changing somewhere, and I'm at a loss as to where. Thank you in advance

I have a TP Link Archer D2 and I would like to use it on NowTV Broadband. Please let me know how you solved this conundrum.

 

Thanks

Thanks I found the link but regretfully my router doesn't have "option 61" so I'm out of luck. The NowTV price was good but the service isn't too good. My connection regularly breaks for 5 seconds at a time and the Engineers tell me I've got too many things connected, not being used just connected. That would be credible were it not for the fact that I've used 3 different ISPs in the past 3 years and the other 2 gave no problem with the same set-up.

I had the problem of too many connected devices, so this can be real.

 

However, the symptoms were that when I used a device that exceeded the limit (which was, I think, 24), it would just bump off another device. And if that was in use, the break would be indefinite.

 

Your router may handle this differently - and every router should have a bigger device table than that - but it’s a real thing.

Set a Payment PIN on your account so that no-one but you can buy memberships on it. Check your bank accounts monthly for any other unexpected payments to Now. That way you can at least nip them in the bud, while you and Now figure out whose fault they are.
