From what I've seen they're little over £100?

Here are some of my requirements
- GbE Swtich <--------- lacking on too many routers
- Full & uncrippled access to CLI for advanced users.
- QoS
- SNMP
- Parental Controls (not essential for me but this is a area to consider for a large portion of customers)
- USB
- 802.11ac wireless would be good, but I understand that this could be cost prohibitive.
The following is a personal preference, but very worthwhile in view of the dsl performance
- BCM chipset (to get advanced stats) - preferably the BCM63168 with the 039 adsl_phy.
Everyone thats tried it so far has seen an improved sync speed and stability. Ranging from 1Mb -10Mb over the HG612 modem. I got an additional 3.5 Max sync
The the ZyXel VMG8324-B10A only wireless n though which may not satisfy some, but I find it fine as it covers a previous dead spot and reaches the bottom of my garden. If only ZyXel could get their act together with the firmware, although this may not bother plusnet as presumably they would opt for the custom firmware like Eirecom have. If you want wireless_ac then youd have to step up to the VMG8924 with a bigger price tag 😕
TPLink sounds like it may have a decent competitor with the TD-W9980, but according to my source it wont be available in the UK until the end of this year. Im still awaiting details on the chipset.

Quote from: Chris How much would you be willing to spend on a router?
I am on an FTTP connection and would be willing to pay around £100 for a dual band fibre router with multicast option.

I dont mind them sticking a logo badge on the router... or even SP specific firmware when it comes to config... but would hate for one to be locked down like what some ISPs do.

but it is up to each individual to decide which router they want to use . i have been with PN several years now and have read loads of posts stating the Thomson "a basic Router" is somewhat lacking
I cannot afford to buy a £100 router myself , but would gladly order one from PN if the cost was spread over a time period on top of my bill.
and have no doupt there would be quite a few more here who would do also .
samsung 850evo 250gig , WD black 2 TB . Asus Phoebus sound ,
16 gig Avexir ram 2400 , water cooling Corsair H100i gtx ,
Corsair 750HXI Psu , Phanteks Enthoo pro case .
