Hello! I’d be happy to assist. Your ISP uses G Fast, you’re using an ASUS ET12 router for Wi-Fi, and you’re looking to switch to a dedicated modem instead. Any recommendations would be great.

Which provider are you using? What kind of internet service do you have? Have you inquired with your provider regarding approved modem upgrades?

Hi, thanks for reaching out. I'm based in the UK and using BT as my ISP. My connection is currently FTTP with about 300mb/s speed. I've spoken to them, who mentioned they don't provide guidance on non-ISP modems or routers, but they shared the settings for the devices they supply. It looks like BT doesn't support this setup and may be discouraging it.

I assume you mean FTTC, as g.FAST is a form of DSL provided over FTTC. There are no modems for this, only gateways/routers that you can configure in bridge mode. I wouldn't necessarily get one as most g.FAST areas should move to FTTP over the next few years so its a bit of a waste of money. There's some discussion here .
