Replacing that dreadful router!
Hi there,
Sorry you're not happy with the router, but yes - any of those home hubs will work fine with our service, all you need is your username and password for the router. Username will be accountusername@plusdsl.net and your password the same one you use to log in to our website.
There's a fair few others on here who do like the Asus routers though if you opt for one of those, there's a couple of threads in this board about them too
Hope that helps, and sorry about the bad start - hope things get better from here.

Here is a guide I have made, which is found in the library section by typing 'BT'

hardwire another router or home hub to the current PN router. Change IP and disable DHCP of the second router/homehub

Not cheaper as it uses more power if you have 2 routers on , simpler to just use bt hub in its own connected to Plusnet

What does a router cost to run? 
not really going to hurt the bank

i replaced my PN router with the Asus RT-N56U, a couple of months ago, as i found wireless coverage wasnt the best with PN router, also only supports 2.4GHz, Asus supports both 2.4, and 5 GHz, wireless coverage excellent, also not bad looking router, yes it cost me £80 from amazon but well worth the money

Every little helps.
Some people can't afford to just throw money about!

using "close approximations"
1W continuous is 8.76 units per annum, so between £1.05 and £1.40 per annum per Watt (from current tariffs checked)Rule of thumb: no more than 8.76*<pence per unit>*<W rating> or £1 per annum per Watt at 11.4p per unit - £1.50 @ 17p per unit

Do you use anything special by way of firmware on the RT-N56U? Looking at this and also the N66U (seems bit excessive for my needs) and just wondering if the default stock FW will be reliable enough w/o too much tweaking?
I'm remote from the site but have non tech users there as well, so need something dependable but with good wireless perf....been disappointed with the Technicolor on the latter.
