I have just ordered fibre broadband for the first time & I am switching from Sky Broadband standard ADSL.
I know I have a few weeks to wait before it goes live so I have done a bit of research on the kit that plusnet will provide.
I don't really want 2 boxes (1 modem,1 router) plus I want gigabit ports on my router & good wireless coverage.
So I am going to take the plunge & order one if these: http://uk.tp-link.com/products/details/?model=TD-W9980
That won't be in stock for a few more weeks.
I will need some assistance in setting this baby up, especially vdsl side of things. Who do I ask ?
Cheers.

What do you guys think to this kit, worth getting & letting you know how I get on with it ?
Not too many single box solutions that are under £100, in fact it's £70 at broadbandbuyer, well if it's get's into stock, none in the UK at the moment.
I know BT Broadband are now offering new customers a new single box solution, will Plusnet ever do the same ?
Cheers.

Do you mean on the wall or on the new modem/router ?
I have not even gone live yet so BT have not been to put a nice new socket on the wall, which it will need.
The router has 1 RJ11 Port, that is the correct type is it not ?
Cheers,

Yes on paper they do look good don't they.
It's a shame plusnet don't offer these preconfigured so BT just put a new socket/faceplate, plug in this bad boy & leave.
I am sure new customers would pay extra at point of ordering between one of these & the standard router offering which I hear are not very good.

Yes your right they are 2 different routers
avatastic, mind you I also read somewhere about the 8980 & 9980 being the same hardware, so god knows. If I find the link I will post it.
As you may know I have just ordered plusnet fibre with an install date 25/09
They have just sent me 2 of those Technicolour Routers, 2!! I did not really want 1!
