Could we carry on using our Netgear Orbi after switching our BT FTTP to VF?

[splodger]

I'm currently on BT FTTP with Digital Voice. We use the BT provided box as a modem (and router I think - apologies for ignorance on this!), and use an Orbi AX1800 and satellites in AP mode. This set-up works fine for us.

We'd like to switch to Vodafone, but am finding it quite confusing seeing whether we'd be able to use the same set-up. I'd be happy to use the Vodafone box as a modem so Digital Voice carries on working.

We have about 49 devices connected to the Orbi.

Would switching to Vodafone be likely to cause any issues with either using Digital Voice, our Orbi system or the number of devices we have (which is likely only to increase)?

Many thanks for any help with this!

Assuming that the Orbi system is in AP mode, it should be as simple as switching from using the BT hub to using the Vodafone hub (with the WiFi turned off).  It is possible to get the details so you switch to using VoIP with your own equipment (unlike BT), but if the previous setup worked for you then you should be good with the VF hub and the Orbi Mesh!

Thanks very much for confirming - much appreciated!
