Currently using fiber connection from local provider with static IP using ONU with my 8 years old Digisol DG-HR3400 router which is fabulous by the way but is only single band.
So to get full benefit of my wifi on 5ghz band, I was looking to buy a used gigabit router and came across multiple listing on olx of routers which i was considering.
Then i came to know that ACT Fibernet used to provide good router models from top brands such as TENDA AC10, TP-Link C5, TP-LINK C1200 etc, but they locked such routers.
My concern is that these seller might be selling such routers and they might not be much useful for my local connection. If anyone here had ACT Fibernet and purchased such routers from them at the time of the connection, or have used such locked router from ACT, can you please tell me how to identify a ACT locked router from an unlocked one? What to look for in the router login page because apparently some Act locked router even have TP-LINK default wifi name and password on the back.
Additionally, if these ACT locked routers can be used with other broadbands, are important featues locked? One seller is selling TP-LINK ARCHER C6 from ACT, and openwrt is available for that router, so can openwrt be flashed on such locked router and remove such lock?
