    hello I have internet with Vectra, I have terrible problems with the router, it spreads and even in the second room I do not have coverage anymore, unfortunately for some reasons I can not report it to the service because the contract is very old and the person for whom he is unfortunately dead and I would not like to change for myself because I have a fairly good offer and here is the question: Can I buy another router instead of the current router? will it work normally? if so, what do you recommend at a reasonable price (something around PLN 100, even from stimulants) to have a good range? The WiFi amplifier did not give anything because it disconnects my network from time to time. thanks for the help in advance :)

    good coverage

    This one is determined by the legal regulations for a given band.

    And what exactly are they: type, model, markings?
    The problems are only on wifi or also on a cable connection?

    Do you have access to EBOK Vectra? It will be necessary to switch the modem to the bridge. In such a situation, I advise against calling the hotline and pretending to be dead (they have implemented a speech recognition system and, of course, they record) :)

    Added after 6 [minutes]:
    You can transfer the contract to yourself or take advantage of the maintenance offer.

    You can assign yourself.
    Remember that, according to the regulations, the contract expires in the event of the subscriber's death.

    They shouldn't have a problem with transferring the contract, which is probably a better solution than claiming to be deceased.

    Cisco etc 3928s, I only use via WiFi. I have an app on my phone where I can change the router / Bridge, as you probably know, it's hard to enter the Vectra configuration. I once connected to the configuration, I turned it off for a few minutes, I turned it on without the Internet and the cable then managed to enter it, but after a week or so they returned to their settings

    Cisco EPC3928S a very good modem, but WiFi is not that special. Buy something more efficient and connect with a Cisco cable.

    Netgear R6220 from a well-known auction site costs about PLN 100. Only buy from the company so you can return within 14 days if you are not satisfied with the coverage.

    Apart from Netgear, I do not see anything sensible in the amount of about PLN 100.

    Are you looking for a router with more efficient WiFi than the Cisco EPC3928S.

    The R6220 is quite a powerful device.
    WLAN 2.4GHz: b / g / n
    WLAN 5.0GHz: a / n / ac
    MIMO: 2x2
    CPU MHz: 880
    Flash MB: 128NAND
    RAM MB: 128
    USB ports: 1x 2.0
    Ethernet Gbit ports: 5 (4 LAN, 1 WAN)

    Budget Pentagrams, Tendas have nothing to do with the above specification. Alternative software is also available on Netgar so you can get more features than on the manufacturer's software.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around issues with Wi-Fi coverage using a Vectra router, particularly in a situation where the user cannot report problems due to an old contract. Suggestions include keeping the Vectra modem and adding a compatible router or access point, provided the modem can be set to bridge mode. Users recommend conducting a Wi-Fi network diagnosis to identify potential interference. The Netgear R6220 is highlighted as a suitable router within the budget of PLN 100, offering dual-band capabilities and better performance compared to budget alternatives like Tenda and Pentagram. The importance of selecting a router with appropriate specifications for future needs is emphasized.
