A router/modem upgrade question

[#1]

Hello,

Could anyone recommend a better all in one solution than the plusnet hub? I bought an asus dsl n55u but it would not connect no matter what I or plusnet sugessted. 

Is the TP Link W9980 any good ? 

any suggestions would be appreciated 

thank you

It wouldn't - that is ADSL only

This thread shows the options http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,14436.0.html

Which one depends to a large extent on why the Hub 1 doesn't meet your requirements

Hi,

Thanks for the info - the tp link one I posted says this -

N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit VDSL2/ADSL2+ Modem Router

do I not want that then?

Reason for the change is the wireless is terrible on the hub.

thanks again

It won't refers to the asus dsl n55u

I wasn't commenting on the TP Link just advising the options

Ah I see sorry I mis understood. I will stick to whats on the list. I nearly bought a TP link as well. You live and learn

The TD-W9980 is VDSL (as you noted) and is the unit I use for fibre. Cannot really comment on the wireless as I rarely use it (but it works when I do!).

I have the model on the link, WD T9980 and it's perfect...aside from the fact that plusnet can't handle anyone who has Xbox one , other than that you are fine. It's amazingly stable and is all in one. Just make you go into your account on here and get the PPO3 email and password ( it's your plusnet password ) and then you add this to the setup on the new router . No need to use their terrible standard nonsense and you can also get rid of the big ugly modem they give too

Thanks for the info. Once Ive sent this one back I may well replace it with the TP-link. I have the hub at present so already lost the modem part but the wireless is dire. I have never had an xbox one problem with plusnet but I do have the console hardwired into the modem..

Thanks again
