Changing to full fibre, with landline. Want to use existing ASUS router.

Hi, I’m currently with EE with FTTC, and a have ordered EE Full fibre. I had problems with WiFi in the past, it struggled to cover whole house and had a mixture of powerline and WiFi extenders to try and solve issues. This had mixed result and I ended up getting an Asus DSL-AX82U as it seemed like the only router that would work with a ASDL, have WiFi 6 and be mesh compatible. I was prepared to buy extra mesh units but discovered the router covered whole house.

I understandably want to use my existing router as I know it works and have been told by EE that it will, but now having doubts and have a few questions -

has anyone used the telephone adapters with third party routers? 

Can you use more than 1 of the adapters? I have a corded phone in addition to cordless.

I saw EE offered WiFi phones, do I have to buy these from EE or are there generic ones available?

Ive read that phone service is now VOIP how does that get configured? Does is happen on router, or on handsets?

If I have to go with EE router, is there a link to where I can buy Mesh extenders?

 

Sorry for all the questions folks 🙂

@Afd Which calling plan did you go with on the DV Landline. Link below shows what.

Went for the unlimited minutes plan, was £18 a month, I suppose I’ll never pay that if it goes up every April?
