Replace Smart Router / Huawei HS8247W with separate ONT + Router

[Toby]

Hello, We have upgraded our internet to 1Gbs down / 200Mbs up fiber and got the Smart router 2.0. IMO that router "Smart Router 2.0 / Huawei EchoLife HS8247W" is rubbish for such a great fiber connection. It is an entry level router and wireless/router performance are below average. We have a router/mesh system from Ubiquiti and would like to use that. I think it is understandable that we do NOT want to use a high tech router in bridge mode while using a cheap Huawai router as the main router. I noticed that the "bridge" function has been removed from the firmware which I cannot understand why that decision was made by Vodafone Portugal!? We would like to ditch this router completely and connect directly our system to the ONT. We can still connect the vodafone huwaei router to one of our ethernet ports if that is necessary for the TVs to work. Can you please send me a quote to make this possible? Many Thanks Toby

In the last years it was extremely clear that Vodafone stopped the investment in Portugal. Maybe they reach the customer numbers they wanted and now forwarded the investment to other country.

With NOS i don't think they have to be worried about, but with MEO...

But it doesn't matter; they already think that are untouchable, so we can say/ask what we want that Vodafone simply doesn't care.

Além de isso dá petição valer "0", podes escrever em Português visto isto ser o fórum da Vodafone Portugal.

Além disso, o que poderia acontecer, no caso de um milagre, era voltarem a disponibilizar ONT + Router. Aliás, o mais importante, e relevante para nós clientes, seria usar o nosso próprio router, não o nosso próprio ONT.
