Q: Does anyone have any experience of using this in place of vodafone gigafast (500 and 900mbps) thg3000. better coverage/set up/difficulties?

yes this will connect directly to the gigafast fibre ethernet port, no need to use the Vodafone router, but you need to get the dsl user and pass from Vodafone live chat, set wan type to PPoE insert account login, then on LAN->IPTV set Internet VID 911. Or use the wizard and insert these settings

Q: According to asus website asus rt-ax82u ax5400 has a built in dsl port so can be used on bt as a modem/router. no mention here can anybody confirm?

No, this router does not have a dsl port on it and cannot be used with BT broadband unless you connect to a modem first. If you want to use a dual router/modem then Asus do make a version of this router that is DSL-ax82U rather than the RT-ax82U, which is a router only.

Q: When configuring asus router, there is no auto-detection of internet. it asks me to create new network (virgin hub 3.0 in modem mode.) any ideas?

Can’t remember as was some time ago. But it was simple. Search some of the reviews as they might give more info. All I did was put virgin router into modem mode. Connect it via cable to ASUS router. Now at this point you might need to reboot the virgin router. I think some of reviews say that and then configure ASUs router through app

Q: what are the frequency ranges that you can access?

All frequencies, but I had to return to the standard frequencies as I had a lot of problems with my Hue Bridge that disconnected and even after changing frequencies on that, still would not accept the 160mhz frequencies. I also think it might be Virgin modem coming into play too because I had problems with the higher channels with that router too.
