Its not how old you are, but how you are old. 💖

My home internet was stuffed.
I'm having to use the Vodafone router which doesn't support a lot of the features I was using.
It will not accept my existing WiFi SSIDs (names) and passwords so lots of stuff (eg doorbell, a wifi cctv camera, several alexas) needs setting up again and it's a pain.

I was using my own router which has been working for years and it just suddenly stopped connecting to Vodafone. It may have a fault but I think it must be Vodafone blocking third party routers because all the rest of it was working fine.

I hope you can get to the bottom of this problem, Klon.  Whether it is the router, or Vodaphone themselves, there will be a means of overcoming the problem even, if necessary, leaving Vodaphone and using a different company.  Of course, there will probably be a lot to do, so good luck.

I'm using their router. It does work but didn't have a lot of the features I was using. I can set up a raspberry pi to do some of the things if I think I need to. I'm using a WiFi extender with my old ssids on and a lot of the WiFi kit is working. I'll probably have to setup some things again. I need to get on and set up the new server as the bits and bobs at home aren't essential just nice to have.

I thought that too when the damned thing stopped working.
