As few ADSL modem/routers are fibre compatible.

If you get A BT hub 3 I would recommend a Type B version rather than Type A. (Different Brands)
Hope this helps

Even though if the OP does get fibre, Plusnet will provide a router.
Seeing your recent post you live in the middle of no where I am assuming the Countryside?

The AUS RT-N66U has been recommended by a number of people on this forum and indeed there is a specific thread dedicated to it. I have one and can vouch for it's superiority over the standard PN router. Mine cost £109 from Amazon though. As you are not on fibre it might be a bit of overkill but if you look through the many threads there are on poor wireless performance you will see a number of other routers have been recommended

The OP has a 585v7 not a T582n.
Just correcting.
Leight - Its unlikely that the OP will be getting fibre soon as he lives 'in the middle of no where'.
ochristmas - Can you tell us on which exchange you are on - You can find out here
Thanks

So you won't be getting fibre anytime soon until 21CN enabled.
You can blab to openreach through the link posted by AndyH and get neighbours to do this as well. It may convince openreach to enable 21CN or get fibre even (Can take years)
I have posted a brief of exchange info from samknows via a screenshot, if too small a link is here
