Snickkerzz Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I am considering buying the NetDuma for my modem router, which is a Technicolour 587NV3, I'm just unsure as to whether it will work and be compatible. We have a laptop in the same room as our modem router, so it can plug into that aswell as the modem router I believe. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 24, 2017 Administrators Share Posted October 24, 2017 Hey, welcome to the forum! There should be no issues with compatibility of the two. If you do end up purchasing I would put the Technicolour into modem mode, then connect everything to the R1. That would allow it to take control of your network and then you'll benefit the most from its features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickkerzz Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 Thanks for the reply. What do you mean by putting it into modem mode? & do you mean connect all devices using internet to the R1? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 26, 2017 Administrators Share Posted October 26, 2017 Just look up your modem/router and don't think you have modem mode so don't worry about that. I would however turn off its WiFi. Yes that's what I mean and with the modem/router WiFi off no devices can connect automatically meaning the R1 is in full control and you'll therefore benefit from all it's features.

Snickkerzz Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 So does it matter how old my modem is? + does it have good signal strength and do you know how good it is in Australia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 28, 2017 Administrators Share Posted October 28, 2017 As long as it can pass everything through to the R1 it should be fine. Signal should be able to support an average sized house. We have quite a few customers in Australia and they love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
