Which one do you use & recommend,i find my HH5 seems to reboot regular,like daily.

if the homehub is faulty why not get BT to replace it FOC rather than paying out?

To be honest, the openreach (Huawei?) VDSL modem seems absolutely fine. I use pfSense in a VM as my router, as there's no law that says the modem and the router must be in the same box.

If I was going to buy an all-in-one I'd probably get something from Vigor.

So this is the second box?

You're sure it's rebooting and not the line dropping?

FWIW, I have just upgraded our home Plusnet system to use a vigor 130 modem plugged in to a hardware firewall/router (pfsense). The Plusnet (BT hub) is fine but it's port forwarding and inbound Nat rules didn't all work and I think it got confused. But my uses are a bit different to a typical customer.

We use 2860's primarily at work, now their stable! The initial ones were utter rubbish, half-baked at best, and I've never been a fan of the Draytek wireless either.
