Superior to my 100gbit. 2.4 kHz plus net router.
Belkin Router has gigabit Ethernet
5khz wifi
And a bunch of other nice features.
How can I use it with my fibre bt modem?

Quote from: rathomir it wont work. verified with the vendor. oh well.
I find that hard to believe, providing you have a separate Modem (I.e the openreach one) and it supports PPPoE then it should work.
I'm afraid I don't trust some of the router vendors to supply an accurate anwser, I'm not sure in the cases of a lot of them that the query actually gets routed to someone who actually knows what they're talking about.
Also you're getting Gbit and Megabit Mixed up as well as Khz and Ghz 😉
Not That I wouldn't mind 100Gbit/s interfaces on an isp supplied router.

If you have the F9K1112 then it will work, if you have the F9J1104 then it's a combined modem/router, has no WAN port and therefore will not work with the FTTC modem.
Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

However there's nothing stopping you using it as a Wireless access point and for some additional gigabit ports if you don't mind having an extra box powered up.
What you would need to do is connect your computer to it and access it's settings, you need to find the "LAN" settings section and change the IP address so that it sits the same range as the plusnet rouiter.
E.g if your plusnet router is 192.168.1.254 make the belkin 192.168.1.252 (Some of the techinicolors already use 192.168.1.253 for their media sharing stuff), you then need to locate the setting for "DHCP Server" and set it to off.
Then you can plug the LAN port of the Belkin to one of the LAN ports on the plusnet router and you should be able to use the Wireless from the Belkin as well as the remaining gigabit ports.
I Do something similar with some Tenda Routers as they were massively cheaper than buying Dual band wireless access points.
