Are you satisfied with the Plusnet router tg582n ?
Compared to my previous Belkin G+ Mimo router which has caused me so many different issues over the last few years, the tg582n is proving to be an excellent performer in all areas and well worth the £6 delivery charge ! 
Quote from: Justin7 Personally I think Plusnet should provide a better router or at least an option to upgrade it so I thought I'd start a poll!
for a free router its "ok" other providers provide better routers free though with big brand names.
Quote from: chrispurvey Hi daimonde,
As suggested above, have you tried changing your wireless channel to see if that helps?
i had a big wireless issue changing channel made a difference but its still not as reliable as my old isp's router.
Quote from: StevieK well all i can say is the talk talk router that next door has gives a solid 100% signal on my PS3 in my upstairs office (spare bedroom) where as this FTTC Plusnet one only gets 67% & fluctuates badly also the signal on Talk Talk one next door has to go thru the main dividing wall between the houses which includes the fireplace so almost like double thickness they are only a few feet apart on opposite sides of the wall. so not really sure why the plusnet router struggles so badly with far less obstructions in the way.
we have a similar issue wireless doesnt work well upstairs
Is there a specific order of channels people would suggest to try if problems are encountered on the TG582N?
In the past on ADSL, people suggested to use a tool to scan the local area to see what wireless channels other routers were using in the area, and select a channel that was not being used by other equipment.
I've not changed providers for 6 years so I've been out of the game for a while, trying to dust myself off

The latest version of InSSIDer also gives a "channel rating" for the one highlighted, which may help with selection. It's based on channel overlap calculations. It also doesn't like you selecting channel 13 (not available in USA) 
Quote from: StevieK Hi njay I do understand that the Gigabit port would make no difference to the wireless performance, the comment about the lack of at least one gigbit port was more aimed at for using with my media streamer as HD content can be a wee bit hit & miss at times, after all if BT can provide one on the Home Hub 3 then why not this one I keep looking at the ASUS RT-N66U myself but its a bit to expensive for my blood atm
Do you actually realise how many full HD streams you could run simultaneously over 100Mb? The fact that you haven't got gigabit will be nothing to do with it being hit and miss at times and everything to do with what you have connected at either end!

plusnet told me 1 6 or 12.
i never ever touched channel on my sky router and i was with them for years. I may even get the router firmware of my sky router flashed and use with plusnet keep this plusnet one as a spare then.
