Thinking about getting new Router - BT Home Hub 5 router to replace the Thomson
Dear all,
am thinking about getting a BT Home Hub 5 router to replace the one that was supplied by Plusnet (Thomson).
Can this one also replace the VDSL modem as well or is that only with BT Infinity? I have the fibre optic package.
Otherwise, have also been looking at Asus RT-AC56U (and its more expensive cousin the Asus RT-AC66U) and the Buffalo WZR-1166DHP.
I have a smallish flat (5 rooms, mainly thinking about wifi connections although I do have a small server that uses an ethernet connection.
Any advice or pointers gratefully received!

I'm using the HH5 on Plusnet instead of the supplied separate modem and router with no problems as such. A couple of days after I installed it the firmware updated and then I started getting the disconnects that you may have read about. I found the solution that worked for me on one of the forums ( can't remember which one ) All I did was after it had updated the firmware, do a "Factory Reset" of the router/modem and enter all your details again but manually instead of using the setting restore facility.
Net result I haven't had any disconnects since.

I've been using the Asus RT-N56U for 18 months in a 4 double bedroom house & it works extremely well on both broadcast frequencies.
