Can anyone recommend a good router to use with fibre, if possible something that works as a near replacement for the Technicolor or something to replace the modem and the router. If possible with out lots of fiddling about with.
Thanks

Money wise anything from £100 to £150 just after some options.

Its brilliant and really good. I bought a 2nd hand Huwaii Openreach Modem on ebay for the modem side of things.

Do shop around as the prices can vary widely.

Quote something to replace the modem and the router
There's not actually that many units atm which are combined FTTC modem routers.
Some of them are expensive and may exceed your budget
The Billion 8800NL will do the job and is good on VDSL lines, but the downside for me is that it doesnt contain a GbE switch. Theres a discussion on this router here where you can see its a decent performer for the price.
I have an Zyxel VMG8324-10A which I love - it performs slightly better and is more stable than the HG612. Unfortunately trying to pick up one of these in the UK now is pretty difficult as theyve all sold out.
Eirecom are using these routers branded as f1000 and its possible to re-flash them with standard OEM firware.. there's instructions on my forum how to do this.
Weve also seen good reports with the ZyXEL SBG3300-N but at £170 it was just slightly over my budget too.
TPLink are very soon to be releasing a TD-W9980 for public release in the UK.
This contains a lantiq chipset which may be favoured by those on an ECI cab - however it still doesnt quite match BCM chipsets on my (ECI cab) line nor have the lovely things that techies love about the BCMs, but if youre not into all the advanced stats stuff.. then judged on what Ive seen it should come in at a very competitive price if you dont mind waiting a short while.

Have you tried different channels on either of the routers, it could be that there are adjacent networks in the new house on the same channels.
Quote So where do I go next?
