Hi I’m basically sick of the shite UPC horizon wifi signal and was thinking of getting a separate router instead.

Now forgive me as I’m a bit of a networking pleb so if someone a bit more experienced could help me out that would be great.

How would I go about setting this up?

Do I get a router, plug it into the back of the horizon box via ethernet and then connect to the router via wifi?? If that’s the case would something like this do the job I’m looking for ?

I would recommend you ask for the 2-room-solution. That’s called, when you get a separate modem for the internet, the ConnectBox. So that the Horizon is only use for watching TV. The internet connection is the completely separate via the ConnectBox.
@Sunrise_Team: Is that still available, or do he need to switch to the UPC TV Box?

When TheSven says you’ll get a separate modem, he means that UPC will send you their combined modem/router, which will then be used instead of the WiFi router within the Horizon box.

It’s been a long time since I had the Horizon (I have the UPC TV box - highly recommended if you can switch over for free) but I believe if you then connect the Horizon box to the new modem/router with an ethernet cable you can totally disable the WiFi signals in the Horizon box.
