Review: Using Sky or NowTV? It's a cinch to switch - Purchased this on the recommendation of another desertcart review as I was switching to NowTV and had heard it could be a little tricky. The NowTV router is the previous generation Sky model which in itself is reasonable. The NowTV router suffered from an issue to do with maximum number of devices connected which didn't manifest itself on the current gen Sky router so I decided to invest in something better. This has a plethora of options, was so easy to set up, I have a 4TB usb external drive connected to it and it auto configured it, there's options for IPTV, splitting the bands into 2.4/5ghz should you wish, the device management and parental controls are straightforward (how I hated Sky Broadband Buddy and never felt convinced by it). I can restrict access based off time, keywords, domain, ensure QoS demands for the TV. It's inoffensive to look at and doesn't look as if someone has parked a stealth fighter in the room. The coverage is good for my house (it's not huge so I couldn't say how it would be in a larger house) but has options for mesh networking too. Honestly if I had realised how easy it was to switch to this when I had Sky I would have used this straight off. It's good enough that several family members have purchased them and are using them in place of the routers sent with BT/Vodafone based off the positive experience. All in all it does the job, does it well, is simple to use and was a trouble free install. Review: Good Modem, worth the money, but most "extra features" are pointless. - This review is for the VR-600 type 2 (aka AC1600 II). I should also say that I got this quite cheap from a third party sale, £60 plus £1.92 postage, for an opened box. When I tried to set it up, it demanded a password, but first time it should have prompted me for one of my choosing. It had clearly been used, and I had to press the "reset" button, and after that I was able to set it up. I have to say it's fairly solid in operation. One feature I couldn't use is the "5G" wireless, the internal walls in our flat totally defeated the 5G signal. However, the 2.4G signal was much better, and we can now get a reasonable signal in our bedroom, we couldn't with our previous router. It an old brick-built maisonette, and the signal has to pass through 2 brick-built walls and a solid concrete ceiling to get from the router to the bedroom, so that's a plus. Even though the "signal strength" seems to drop on its indicator, it still continues to work, with our previous modem it would keep dropping. Setting it up was straightforward. Later I was able to locate, amongst the "Advanced Settings" a place to allocate all our domestic stuff, including TV, phone, computer, a fixed IP address. It tends to keep connections more stable, and means that you can do more within the network. I've not been able to work out what this TP-Link Cloud is all about yet, seems that a lot of pointless nonsense, I've not been able to find a use for it at all. I was hoping that maybe I could download files from the USB drive plugged in, or use the wirelessly connected printer, but no. All in all, a good modem, does the job, but the so-called "Extras" are mostly a waste of time and effort for me. Loses a star because the signal strength isn't quite what was expected from reviews (though better than the ISP router), and the 5G connection, for me, caused more problems than it was worth, so I disabled it, and for the hype. Glad I bought it though. ## Features - Superfast Wi-Fi – 300Mbps (2.4GHz) and 1300Mbps (5GHz) speeds, are ideal for online gaming, HD streaming, and large file downloads - Superior Range – Three detachable antennas provide stable wireless connections and optimal coverage - Versatile Connectivity – With DSL, EWAN, and USB ports, the Archer VR600 is fully compatible with DSL connections, fibre/cable access and 3G/4G USB dongles - Beamforming Technology – Improves wireless range and performance on 5GHz band - Tether App – TP-LINK Tether provides the easiest way to access and manage the router on your iOS and Android devices ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B06XW26XZ3 | | Antenna Location | Home | | Antenna Type | Fixed | | Best Sellers Rank | 2,759 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 25 in Routers | | Box Contents | Router,power adapter, manual | | Brand Name | TP-Link | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop, Personal Computer, Smart Television, Smartphone, Tablet | | Connectivity Protocol | Wi-Fi | | Connectivity Technology | Ethernet | | Control Method | App | | Controller Type | Ios | | Coverage | House | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (1,017) | | Data Transfer Rate | 2100 Megabits Per Second | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 3 Years | | Frequency | 5 GHz | | Frequency Band Class | Dual-Band | | Has Internet Connectivity | Yes | | Has Security Updates | Yes | | Is Modem Compatible | Yes | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 21.6L x 16.4W x 3.7H centimetres | | Item Weight | 13.76 Ounces | | LAN Port Bandwidth | 1000 Mbps | | Manufacturer | TP-Link | | Manufacturer Part Number | ARCHER VR600 V2 | | Maximum Upstream Data Transfer Rate | 2100 Megabits Per Second | | Model Name | Archer VR600 | | Model Number | Archer VR600 V2 | | Number of Antennas | 4 | | Number of Ports | 4 | | Operating System | RouterOS | | Other Special Features of the Product | USB Print Server | | Product Warranty | 3 years | | RAM Memory Installed | 32 MB | | Router Network Type | Broadband | | Security Protocol | WPS | | Voltage | 12 Volts | | Wi-Fi Generation | Wi-Fi 5 | | Wireless Compability | 802.11ac, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n | ## Product Details - **Brand:** TP-Link - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible devices:** Laptop, Personal Computer, Smart Television, Smartphone, Tablet - **Connectivity technology:** Ethernet - **Frequency band class:** Dual-Band - **Included components:** Router,power adapter, manual - **Model name:** Archer VR600 - **Recommended uses for product:** Home - **Special feature:** USB Print Server - **Wireless communication standard:** 802.11ac, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n ## Images ![Archer VR600 V2 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Jx4aKA-BL.jpg) ![Archer VR600 V2 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Pf0t-HFrL.jpg) ![Archer VR600 V2 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Fb5uTUzgL.jpg) ![Archer VR600 V2 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61kAR5RltsL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How easy is it to setup this router with BT Infinity?** A: An absolute doddle. Took me seconds to set it up. As others have mentioned, you just need to enter "bthomehub@btbroadband.com" as username and any old passsword (I used "BT"). 10 times better than the Homehub in my opinion. **Q: Can i connected without any other modem or router available? Basically i want to purchase this device just for 1 room, will that work?** A: This unit is a combined modem and router and you do not need anything else. All you do is plug it into your broadband socket on the wall which is usually where your telephone line is too. I recommend that you always plug into a socket as close to where your line comes into your property from the outside and that way you avoid any interference from your own wiring and any other devices that might degrade the data stream. You will need to configure it for your particular broadband supplier so do not expect to just plug it in and see it work but that is true of any "box" like this. The ones that come from a broadband supplier that you are using will be pre-configured before they are sent to you so that they can be just plugged in but these need a once only setup. Instructions are provided. They are very good once done though and mine has been very reliable with good coverage. **Q: Does the AC1600 work with sky fibre?** A: Ye s you can use it with Sky Fibre. Setting It Up Setting up the TP-Link router with Sky fibre is extremely simple. Whilst it’s not quite plug and play, the process is very simple: Plug in your TP-Link to a power supply and connect the DSL (Internet) cable to the back. Connect the network cable to port 1 on the router, then connect the other end to your laptop. Open a browser window and navigate to http://192.168.1.1. The TP-Link will ask you to set an admin password – make sure you use something secure, as Password123 ain’t gonna cut it! Once in, the TP-Link setup wizard will start: Input your location and time zone. Click Next. Select Sky(MER)_VDSL from the ISP list. Make sure it’s this one, as this is Sky fibre. The other Sky option in the list is for Sky Broadband and will not work for fibre connections. In the username field, enter abcdefgh@skydsl In the password field, enter 1234567890abcdef Click Next, then set up your wireless settings how you want them setting. Personally, I disabled 2.4GHz and used only 5GHz to help the signal. Click Next. The TP-Link will then test the Internet connection and you should see a success message. If you do not, wait for the DSL light to stop flashing and try again – it should work just fine. That’s it! You’re now connected to Sky fibre via your new TP-Link router.

If they are selling you “Fibre” it is 98% of all installs going to be FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet) then copper from there but indeed this offers huge gains across the board. Sadly these gains are hampered by extremely poor quality routers which ISP’s keep sending you out to plug ins and it never will. This is simply because these modem routers are sent out free of cost and as such are sourced for the very cheapest price possible, thus you get what you pay for. This Router I recommend for anyone really since it has never been switched off and has doubled my speed, my old “nowTV” router was reset several times per day. So would encourage anyone with Sky internet or NowTV internet to get this router since it works on their network (many do not but tp-link generally have the option 61 MER required in order to connect). So couldn’t be happier and would recommend to literally everyone with fibre optic high speed broadband - so long as it is FTtC (fibre to the cabinet) also known as “VDSL” then it will work with any U.K. ISP. Where it won’t work is FTTP (fibre to the premises) but that is a whole different story altogether and are almost exclusively reserved for businesses due to how expensive installation and billing is. If any one needs help setting up feel free to contact me and I’ll gladly help. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/48330883-archer-vr600-v2](https://www.desertcart.us/products/48330883-archer-vr600-v2) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
