As far as I can see there hasn't been a firmware update for my router since 2017 although I would be happy to be corrected on that.</P> <P>Just wondered if any one in the community has a strong recommendation based on their own experience. It needs to be a Broadcom based item because I want to continue to be able to use the DSLstats application for monitoring.</P> Fri, 15 Oct 2021 09:03:04 GMT https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/Best-Broadcom-based-modem-router/m-p/1833334#M28852 BobR1 2021-10-15T09:03:04Z https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/Best-Broadcom-based-modem-router/m-p/1833351#M28853 <P><a href="https://community.plus.net/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/106601">@BobR1</a>&nbsp;</P> <P>Just because a modem has a Broadcom chipset doesn’t mean that you can use DSLstats, it has to allow telnet access.</P> <P>For example, a BT issued HG612 is locked down and you need to flash it with new firmware to activate the necessary features.</P> Fri, 15 Oct 2021 11:10:58 GMT https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/Best-Broadcom-based-modem-router/m-p/1833351#M28853 Baldrick1 2021-10-15T11:10:58Z https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/Best-Broadcom-based-modem-router/m-p/1833358#M28854 <DIV style="background: #EDF3F5; padding: 10px; margin-top: 20px; margin-right: 10px; border: 2px solid #CFD8DC; border-radius: 10px; box-shadow: 8px 8px 7px #676D70; font-size: 10pt;"><BR /> <P style="font-size: 10pt;"><STRONG>Moderators Note</STRONG></P> <BR /> <P style="font-size: 10pt;">This topic has been moved from Fibre to My Router</P> </DIV> Fri, 15 Oct 2021 12:30:43 GMT https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/Best-Broadcom-based-modem-router/m-p/1833358#M28854 dvorak 2021-10-15T12:30:43Z https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/Best-Broadcom-based-modem-router/m-p/1833362#M28857 <P><a href="https://community.plus.net/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/38823">@Baldrick1</a>&nbsp;</P> <P>Hello Baldrick1 - yes I am aware of the Telnet accessibility requirement but worth pointing out for readers who may not be.</P> Fri, 15 Oct 2021 12:52:02 GMT https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/Best-Broadcom-based-modem-router/m-p/1833362#M28857 BobR1 2021-10-15T12:52:02Z
