Change of Router

[selcukd]

I currently have Kabelrouter Compal CH7466CE but occasionally having problems with Wi-Fi on far places at home. I want to get a Vodafone Station which has Wi-Fi 6 and it was the default option when I was changing my tariff. 

I tried to call the customer support but it takes too long to connect to someone and on all my attempts there was noone speaking English.

Hi selcukd,

did you order a tariff change and were promised a new router or why do you expect a different cable router? The Compal is sufficient up to a bandwidth of 500 Mbps. What speed did you book?

Best regards

Hi Lars,

It was a tariff change with Vodafone Station. I don't have problem with the speed but signal strength on different places at home. 

I tried changing WiFi settings like bandwidth, channel, etc. but nothing helped. I was hoping to get a WiFi 6 router that may solve the issue.

Regards,

Hi selcukd,

I am sorry to read that you are not satisfied with the Vodafone station. Unfortunately, if the device itself is not defective, we cannot exchange it.

Stephan,

Below is the email I received from Vodafone on December 13. It mentions that I can receive the deveice I opted for if I want which was Vodafone Station. 

Can you please let me know what I have to do to replace my current router with Vodafone Station?

Hello selcukd,

I'm sorry, but there is a note about a device change. Your cancellation has been withdrawn and your contract will continue as before. That's what it says there.

Best regards

Hi Nancy,

I originally cancelled my ongoing contract and signed a new contract because of the advantages in the tariff. Vodafone automatically treated this as change of contract instead of cancellation. I did not withdraw my cancelattion.

Hello selcukd,

if a contract already exists, unfortunately a new one cannot be concluded in parallel. That's why you switched tariffs and didn't book a new contract. This also prevents duplicate charges. Unfortunately, I can only agree with the previous speakers, we can not offer you a new device, I'm sorry.

Regards
