Vodafone Wi-Fi Hub

Worst WIFI box EVER – If you have experienced iinet and had great service for over 8 years, do not let yourself get talked into a Vodafone internet package and wifi hub - its awful. Admittingly, having wifi that connects when it feels like it, zero range (cannot reach every room in standard house regardless of placement) and constantly dropping out, reminds you of the… Read more

good old windows95 days, but in this modern world - stay clear. The wifi box is simply dreadful, no other word for it. I'm annoyed I will have to pay for the box, but there's no way I can take another month or 2 of this. Loyal customer of Vodaphone for 11 years (telephone), but this home internet was a huge mistake. Hours and hours trying to sort it with tech support which then took us over the 30 day return policy - yep, you got me. 1 tech (nice lady) was the best help and got it working to a fashion, but still not close to what you would expect. Choice of good internet in the home office, or the bedroom - not both. Will be worth paying off and changing back.

Not great out of the box, got it sorted with some VF tech help – Very unhappy when we first got this as the range was pitiful and devices were dropping out 10 paces away. Contacted VF support and it seems the issue has been fixed. Basically, the default connection seems to be the 5GHz one, and the range on that is a bit of a joke. Essentially, had to use the dashboard (a bit ugly, but manageable) to set up two… Read more

networks you could connect to, a 5GHz and a 2.4GHz one (rather than the single default network where the modem seemed to select the 5GHz for you). The 5 is faster but you have to be within 10 feet of it. The 2.4GHz network has better range that our previous iiNet router, but the speed is slower than the 5GHz one. So, it works, although connection speeds seem to be a fair way down on the claimed "download speed". Still, faster than what we had before. So.... ??

WIFI Hub 2 terrible – Absolute bucket of crap. hub 1 was okay but when VF "upgraded" me to the hub 2 everything went south. connection drops out numerous times a day, requiring a modem reset. signal doesnt travel far when it is working, have been arguing with VF since july about this and still have multiple drop out issues each day. Show details

Pile of junk – NBN itself is OK (but not as reliable as the old Telstra cable connection) but the wifi hub is hopeless. Connection keeps dropping (especially the TV) and even the LAN connection locks up every couple of weeks. I have to restart it every couple of days - helpdesk has tried changing the wifi channel it uses a couple of time now but nothing helps.… Read more

The old Telstra Arcadyn worked very well and I've now put that back into use just as a wifi hub because it is reliable.

This hub is terrible WiFi – Thank God this Vodafone Wi-Fi Hub 1.0 has been discontinued best move by Vodafone. And here's hoping the Wi-Fi Hub 2.0 works for WiFi services in more than 1 room! Show details

5Ghz keeps dropping – Modem shouldn't be rocket science nowadays. The 4G backup is quite useful, but I don't expect having to use it that often. Now the 5Ghz I need to use it all the time and that keeps dropping. That needs a fix and Vodafone seems to have no clue.
