Which one do you use & recommend.:)
 
It is an all in one modem router.:):D
 
James,

Are you looking for a VDSL provider recommendation or a router recommendation, if it's a router then we need to know what service you are subscribed to such as FTTx etc...

It is a modem router for FTTC,i had a tp link 9980 i think it was for a little while until the lightning struck last month & fried it.:):D
 
Apart from having one box instead of two, is there any advantage in not using the supplied modem?
 
ASUS DSL-AC68U and the Draytek 2860AC are the only 2 models which spring to mind, not a fan of tp-link or Netgear but I'm sure they have options too.

Removing the VDSL requirement will open your options considerably, assuming you have an openreach modem?
 
The reason i want an all in one is to reduce plugs & wires,it is just so untidy when i don,t have to have it that way.:):p

I do have an open reach modem,i just want it all tidy
 
Asus or Draytek then, based on my experience, there are obviously others but I've no first-hand experience with them so can't comment
 
Cheers for that.:)
 
Having a re-think here,would i be better keeping the openreach modem & just replace the router TG582n,they pretty basic.:)
 
I found having them separate to be an advantage as I was able to leave the modem in the hall, next to the master socket, and move the router to my workroom. We had our kitchen ceiling replaced so I used the opportunity to run a load of Cat5 through the house....

Also, I wouldn't let a two-year-old report put you off Asus routers. Asus is constantly updating the firmware and the problem was specific to using a USB drive on the router so easily avoided.

+1

and thinking that any other router does not have at least 1 exploit of some sort would be extremely naive.
 
Thanks guys,i might have another look at Asus.:):D
