Hi There, 

 

I have a Huawei TPG supplied modem, and tonight there was a power surge and the modem appears to be fried (it won't come back on, all other electrical devices connected come back fine). I have a VOIP service on my account. Am i able to buy a TP-LINK AC1600 Modem Router Archer VR600v off the shelf at a retailer and configure it to work? 

 

I've been trying to speak to someone on the tech support phone to see if possible but i've had to call 3 times now as i keep getting disconnected from being on hold after 20min of waiting?

 

Thanks,
