What affects if I can get 1Gbps connection speed on my device?
Recommended equipment for optimal speed:
- Quality data cable
- Gigabit Ethernet port/NIC (Network Interface Card)
- Fifth generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5500U Dual Core Processor or equivalent
- Memory 8 GB
- Updated operating system and browser
- When you order the service, we recommend that you use a professional installation from our technician, who will not only plug in the new modem, but also set up the connection for you on your device and make sure that you have everything set up and ready to connect at the highest possible speed.
- Connection speed is affected by other applications running on the computer, antivirus programs and firewalls. Even though our connection will run at full speed, your computer may occasionally "lag" and only use a portion of the available speed.
- The main advantage of gigabit fixed internet is the high capacity of your connection. You can make full use of the connection on various devices (laptops, mobile phones, game consoles, smart TVs, etc.), which will practically not be affected due to the high speed. So you don't have to worry about your smart TV, etc., stopping working when you start a video conference on your laptop.
- If you're connecting to Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi interference (from obstacles on the route or other wireless networks in your area) and your device's features, which may not support the latest Wi-Fi standards, have the biggest impact on connection speed. We therefore do not recommend connecting to a Wi-Fi network to measure the Internet speed, so that the result is not distorted. You will achieve the highest speeds when using a 5 GHz Wi-Fi network with direct line of sight to the modem and at a short distance. Considering the limits of wireless networks, however, it is necessary to take into account that the measured speed may be lower than when connected by a network cable.
How to get into the modem administration and change the login information?
- Log in to the modem's Wi-Fi network or connect over a data cable and enter the address http://vodafone.station in the browser.
- To access the administration, use the username vodafone, the default login password can be found on the label on the modem (in the line Password Router). When logging in for the first time, you can change your password to your own for your own safety. You can later change the password in the administration in the Settings - Password section.
- If you change the password and forget it, you will need to restore the factory settings of the modem using the reset button. You can find the button on the back of the modem, you need to press it for about 25 seconds. Then all settings will be restored - this may take several minutes (max. half an hour). Don't forget that the default login data for the administration as well as the Wi-Fi name and password can be found on the modem label.

How do I switch the modem to bridge mode?
Switching the modem to bridge mode is especially useful in cases where you want to connect your own router behind the modem or you need to ensure the correct assignment of a fixed IP address to your own device. Your home devices (mobile phones, laptops and others) will then connect to the network created by your own router, which you connect behind the modem. Bridge mode is only available if you have an IP address from us in IPv4 format. If you are currently using IPv6, please contact us to arrange a change. After setting the bridge mode, the default address for modem administration will be changed to http://192.168.100.1.
Log in to the modem administration.
Connect to the modem via Wi-Fi or a data cable and enter the address http://vodafone.station in the browser. To log in, use the username vodafone and the password you set, or the default password you can find on the label on the modem.
Go to the menu Settings - Modem Mode.
Switch the routing status to Bridge mode and confirm the changes.
