Our Install in arriving on Thursday 7th Sept.
Currently use Three 5G.
I think I am going to be best refusing the supplied router and using my own
Current Setup.
3 Router feeding into Asus Tuf AX6000 Router on a 2.5Gbps port, Other 2.5Gbps port goes to a Mac Studio with a 10Gbps Network port
Remaining Router ports deal with Nas/Home Automation etc and a 1Gbps Cat 6 Link to the rest of the house
Booked the 1Gbps connection for £29.99 a month, but now they have launched the 2Gbps for £49.99 Part of me wants to go for the upgrade, but customer services say they wont offer the 12 months for £1 a month on anything above 1Gbps which is a shame
So my main questions.
IPV6. They say it is activated in my area, but I still have worries things like my Phillips Hue Hub, Smartthings Hub, Ikea Trsffi Hub, Aquara Doorbell Hub etc etc are going to have issues even if the IPV6 is active, has anyone got these set up and working OK..
Plex Server, We access this out of the house to download work video/photo stored on it, Is plex stable on the IPv6 they use.
They have been a bit vague about IPv6, I have been told its active in our area but if there are any issues the engineer will look at it on install, and if they cant get IPv6 to work with out sruff they will disable it and fallback to a Dynamic IPv4 (Which worries me as they say online they are CGNAT) which causes issues with my stuff, They also said if the engineers cant get it working they can cancel the install at that point or I can contact retentions who should be able to sort out a free static IPv4 for me. (Is this sales bull or has anyone had it).
I just get the jinxies that they know I have a difficult system and they are kicking the can down the road till the engineer gets here and they can go Tag your it!
SO if anyone uses a lot of home automation etc Plex etc, any issues or is all working well with regards to remote access
