Just flash it first, there are plenty of tutorials on wiki etc. That is how i use mine, it works better with my twin aerial router.
The supplied router imo is a setup modem/router, no more no less.
Good luck
p.s i hear TP-Link AP's are good as well

I've had no problems with the forwarder for 20 days now, i have 15 items listed 14 static and 1 dhcp. So it is possible to use the router and have it stable, but there is a lot of configuration involved.

Quote from: itsfine Only 10 metres away down to 10mb!! Changed channel. No significant obstructions (one stud partition)
I expect he'll forgive you missing that Chris, as you've had a busy day
Steve, I don't suppose that partition has foil backed board at all?
Which firmware have you got on that one?

Going to try my previous router this weekend but I suspect it may be locked to O2. I see from searching the forum there have been quality issues with PN routers so will probably have to buy an alternative to resolve the issue.

The other thing to note, is that when you want to disconnect (or power off) the Router, log into it and click Disconnect in the Internet box so that it drops the PPP session first. When you power up and connect, login and click Connect to establish a new session.
If you don't drop the session, you may have to wait for upto 8 minutes for the previous stale session to timeout.

I wonder if it has trouble talking to a particular radio chipset, or whether all the people with poor speeds have it wall mounted, etc...
