Modem for a router


Hello,
I own simple router Tp-Link WR940N, which as I found out is useless for a DSL connection.
Is it ok if I purchase just a Modem in addition to it? If yes, please suggest which modem to buy.
I have made a contract with O2, but didn't know that my router is useless and did not order O2 router.
Thanks.

It is not useless, you can purchase a modem in addition to it, but this isn't necessarily the best option. Which plan did you order and do you need a way to use the phone?
Moin Moin,
ALLNET ALL-BM200VDSL2V / VDSL2/ADSL Bridge Modem mit Vectoring
ALLNET ALL-BM100VDSL2V / VDSL2 Bridge Modem mit Vectoring
Vigor130
Zyxel P-871M
But... e.g. the Fritzbox 7530 is about 113€ about 40 Euro more that a (cheap) modem.
A Digitalisierungsbox Premium on eBay from a dealer is about 80€ (with warranty).
So a modem is not the cheapest way...
I ordered M flex with 50mb.
And no. I don't even plan to use the phone.
So what do you suggest?

If you want to use just a modem in front of your own router,
these models are quite interesting, both have a nice "Bridge-Modus" for use as a pure modem:
Speedport Entry 2 under 20 € on eBay from merchants, excellent Broadcom modem up to 100 MBit/s VDSL2 Vectoring
Speedport Smart 2 under 50€ on eBay from private, excellent Broadcom modem up to 250 MBit/s VDSL2 Supervectoring

Case is that technician will come today.
And I work from home, so it's important for me to have internet already tomorrow.
I can't wait deliveries from eBay or Amazon.
Please NO 7390*!!! Yes the 7430 should work but is not the best choices.
Better are 75xx.
The 7390 is a 9 year old router with a lot of problem with VDSL2 connection.
If the speed went to 50 Mbit the router will loosing his connection. So PLEASE 🙏🏻no 7390 i know they are cheap. The joy of the cheap price will not be so long again about the bad quality!

Go to the Media Markt / Saturn and take a 75x0 / 7490 / 3490 they should all work fine.
The AVM have a Automatic setup for the DSL connection so you just enter User and Passwort and the router will setup all necessary things.

Yes, but ensure, that you can pick up this router direct from owner and ask for bill regarding guarantee.
If you really need this router for homework...
You should buy one with an official invoice with tax.
In that case you can deduct the costs at the tax!

Hello @Tim_Geo,

@Tim_Geo Every thing is working?
@Tim_Geo Every thing is working?
Yes, I bought a Fritzbox 7530 from Mediamarkt.
I have problem with logging with my original nickanme "Tim_Geo".
When I tried to reply here, it asked me to login or register.
Ok, I pressed, Log-in, but anyway it naviagtes me to create new nickname / user with different e-mail address.

  1. This window comes when I wanted to reply with my original nickname




2. And it starts to register me, instead of login me in.

Try to erase all cookies from O2.
Than try again. I have some times the same problem.
And some times you are loggedin but it will shown only after a refresh.

That login in meino2 has nothing to do with your community login.

So register via your landline Number and choose a new nick name
