I want to improve my wifi (Thomson router on "upto8Mbps")

I've got an ancient Thomson router. Connection is great (well, ok, 6.5Mbps).  But wifi is pretty bad.  Do plusnet do a better router OR can somebody recommend a cheap (non-modem) wireless router I can connect to the Thomson to give a better house network? Cheers.

Hi routerab,
Apologies for the delay in updating this post for you.
We do indeed offer a different router to the one you have now so we could look at working out a new deal to provide you with a new router. It may be best giving our Customer Options team a call to see what we can do for you. Their direct number is 0800 013 2632 and they're open between 9am and 8pm Monday to Friday and 10am to 5:30pm on Saturday.

Is suspect the OP has got an old TG585 and Adam is referring to the latest TG582n.
