Hi Team Vodafone,

Hoping you can answer a couple of questions for me please?
(1) What make and model is the "free wireless modem" included in the Ultra Fast 10/80GB (InHome) 12 month promotion?
(2) Are these really out of stock until mid-January 2014?

Cheers.

For InHome/Cable customers its the "HomeHub" (Huawei HG659).

Assuming I've got the right post, looks like a NetCommWireless NP805N.

Thanks.

Thanks. Yes, I incorrectly picked the ADSL device.

Is that an all-in-one device (modem + WiFi router)?

I take it this device is also in short supply?

I think they might be transitioning from the Netcomm to the Huawei device.
Netcomm wireless router used to be provided to 130 Mbps customers only, however now they are supplying wireless routers on all cable broadband plans.

ADSL --> Vodafone Station
Cable/UFB --> Vodafone HomeHub

It's a standalone wireless router, cable connections require a cable modem (Which is supplied as part of the installation & recovered at conclusion of service).

I believe the installers are out of stock of wireless routers for new cable installs, but haven't heard on when more are expected, sorry. Shouldn't be too far away. :)
