TalkTalk router specs and key features

TalkTalk Wi-Fi Hub

TalkTalk Wi-Fi Hub's key features include:

• Dual-band support: Supports both 2.4Ghz and 5GHz frequency bands

• Smart channel selection: Automatically picks the best frequency for you, making sure you're receiving the best internet experience available

• Seven antennae: Provides great coverage across your home

• Four gigabit Ethernet ports: Useful for connecting devices like games consoles

• Smart Wi-Fi tech: The Hub continuously monitors its own performance and your network connection, and automatically downloads firmware updates to ensure optimum performance

Amazon eero 6

If you're on a TalkTalk ultrafast fibre plan (such as Full Fibre 250 or Full Fibre 500), you'll get the Amazon eero 6 router. This has features like:

• Wi-Fi 6 technology: It uses the Wi-Fi 6 standard, which delivers faster speeds and stronger connections for multiple devices at once

• Ability to handle 75+ devices simultaneously: Ideal for large households with multiple people using many devices at once

• Mesh network: If you upgrade to TalkTalk's Total Home Wi-Fi plan, you'll get an extra eero router to help extend your Wi-Fi signal

• Smart controls: You can manage your eero router via a mobile app, such as setting parental controls

Setting up a TalkTalk router

TalkTalk may require an engineer to come round to set up your broadband, especially if it’s a full fibre connection. If so, they’ll do this part for you.

If not, TalkTalk will send you a Wi-Fi Hub to set up yourself. This part is easy and straightforward to carry out: you simply need to connect the Hub to the mains, as well as your wall mounted phone socket.

TalkTalk’s own step-by-step guide will take you through how to set up your Wi-Fi hub - your internet should be up and running in no time.

Can I replace my TalkTalk router with a better one?

Yes, you can use a third-party router if you find one with better specs. In fact, TalkTalk is the only major provider that offers the Amazon eero bundled with its full fibre plans, meaning you won't have to pay extra to buy it separately.

If you do choose to use a third-party router, make sure it's compatible with your TalkTalk broadband. Routers from other broadband providers might not work, as they're often configured for specific networks.
