My vote is the Talk Talk super router (HG635).
For around £30 from ebay, it has:
a very strong wireless both 2.4GHz and 5GHz
wireless ac, with a suitable wireless card in the PC it give a wifi connection >800Mbps
4 Gigabit ethernet ports.
can replace the BT fibre modem or connect to the BT modem.
Can be configure for plusnet.

It's only the HG635 which has a fibre modem and 5GHz wifi.
As a further check that it's a hg635, if there's a photo, the front right bottom corner has the talk talk logo.
Mine was £30 but that was some months ago, they may have become more popular now.

Yes the wireless on it is crackin, it's got 3 antennas. its only N but that should be enough? Ive used it on virgin as a pure AP and it's always given me full speed so 160mbps over wireless.
It was a monitoring unit but i flashed it with WW-DRT
Edit: Here's a better picture. I forgot it was sat behind me so I took one of the actual unit. Sorry it's sideways when you click it it is not.

Great 2.4ghz range
Guest Wireless Network
2 USB ports for print server/file sharing
Load more features that I don’t understand
Looks the part

Sorted.

I was lucky Broadband Buyer agreed to take it back for a swop to the TP-Link.
The Asus had some nice features like the Asus Aicloud which was very useful, my TP-Link does not have these features.
Decided to go with a static I.P. and use openvpn on my qnap nas to remote access my files instead.
