## Questions & Answers

**Q: would this work in replace of a Virgin Media**
A: Just set your VM hub to modem only and use this as a router.

**Q: Does it just plug into my existing EE modem and with a Ethernet cable?**
A: Yes

**Q: Does anyone have a security warning on this? Asking me to change from wpa to wpa2/3 help!**

**Q: Can anyone tell me what the power button turns off, just wireless or whole unit?**
A: The whole unit....it takes a few minutes to boot up....

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Runs Openwrt like a dream
*by A***R on 5 August 2022*

This is actually the Phicomm K3, that combines Scandinavian design with state-of-the-art technology. The router features eight integrated antennas that provide excellent Wi-Fi coverage with the highest speed. Dual band technology (2.4G+5G) with transfer speeds of up to 3200mbps ensure a stronger and more stable network experience; technical USB3.0 configuration; easy access to storage devices. 3.5 inches TFT LCD display at the top of the router with easy access for users to use.The included firmware is okay, but the device becomes really useful with Openwrt, allowing you to make use of the inbuilt storage and fully utilise the wireless range.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ So far so good.. easy to install and has doubled my WiFi signal upstairs definitely a thumbs up
*by B***N on 24 November 2022*

Great item easy to install using your phone.. doubled my signal in places my other WiFi won't reach.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Hidden Gem
*by A***R on 24 June 2020*

Having spent what seemed like several weeks researching various solutions, I kept coming back to this router. I didn't want something that resembled an alien robotic spider, and the better mesh solutions were a little on the expensive side for my pallete.This was bought to replace my miserable Virgin Hub 3, which would rapidly drop signal once I left the front room. The design is far superior IMO to most 3rd party routers, with a lovely touch screen interface nestled on top. Set-up was relatively easy (note - the hub 3 would not talk to the router after initial set up. Turned everything off, rebooted the hub 1st and then the router, and this resolved the issue). It's well constructed and has been running solidly for 3 days with no sign of performance issues or heating.I subscribe to the M350 package and I'm now getting 250-350mbps all over my 3 bed house, and out to the back of my garden. The range is superb. The reliability has been superb.I'd definitely recommend this router. Its a hidden gem amongst the mountain of options on offer. The price for the spec you get seems unparalleled.
