I intend to replace the HG633 with a router that has gigabit ports; I will likely go for the TPLink Archer VR900 as I've read of several people successfully using it with TalkTalk fibre and most of my connections are ethernet, so wireless speed isn't a big deal....and the VR900 has a prefilled setup for TalkTalk Fibre. But I have two questions before I go ahead and buy the thing:
1. When I first set up the HG633 I was expecting to be asked to enter the original (TalkTalk non fibre) ID and password to connect to TalkTalk. But I didn't have to. It just worked (on the ethernet connection; I know wireless needs password security). I don't understand this. The router came in a sealed box. How did it 'know' who I am?
2. When I come to set up the VR900, if it asks for an id and password, can someone confirm that will be the old id/password I had for the TalkTalk non-fibre service?
