The one frag has is wifi 5. I’d go wifi6 for increased speed. Wouldn’t bother with wifi6e. Question is do they want to get one that’s hyperfibre ready or just fibre.
My phone gets the same 300mb speed my fibre runs at, so it's good enough for most people.
Free from Vodafone / One is a good deal though!

24 months contract required tho
- Stay on any eligible One NZ Broadband plan for 24 months and we’ll cover the cost – valued at $449.
It's still worth it. It's basically free anyway, you don't pay extra you just stay with Vodafone on your existing plan and pricing for 24 months. The Deco x50 kit will cost you $400 to $500 if you go buy it at PBtech, and there is no way you can save $400 to $500 over 2 years by switching to another ISP unless the other ISP's monthly price is cheaper and they also give you a free mesh wifi kit

Hello people,
I have friends who has moved to a place and they are not tech savvy at all, the have fibre but its in a pretty average spot for the house and running cables to places is near impossible.
They would be happy with good wifi though, the house is shaped like an L with the fibre being in the corner of the L but their current router is hot garbage. They are on Vodafone fibre if it makes any difference.
Any recommendations while the sales are on please?
Thanks

If wifi is fine, i'd just get a mesh setup. I have a TP-Link Deco setup and it gives me full fibre speed anywhere on my property. I likely run the same router and the wifi was spotty at best but worked ok. A two pack might be enough if the area isn't too big. Plug one directly into the router, disable the router wifi and use the mesh. Relatively easy to setup. Even one might be enough depending on the area to cover. Pretty sure mine is M4 which has gigabit LAN ports onboard. It's consumer stuff but I think for 99% of people it's good enough.

The Asus XT12 have been solid. Speeds are well up all over the house and no need to run cable to the top floor office. Getting 800 down / 600 up on both desktops wired to the Xt12 satellite in the office. The amplifiHD was getting 70 down / 5 up. That’s two floors up from the main unit in the kitchen. Speed is a bit lower in the basement, but most high use devices in there are already wired.
Really happy so far
