Edimax N300 WiFi/Wireless Broadband Router BR-6428nSV2
The authentication is performed by the router, not the OR modem. Any router that has ethernet WAN and supports PPPoE should work fine.
The Edimax looks to be fine

Just looked at the manual, it should work just fine. You will need to set the WAN connection type to PPPoE and enter your Plusnet username & password.
Quote Will the Edimax N300 WiFi/Wireless Broadband Router BR-6428nSV2 work with plusnet fibre if I use the pn supplied modem?
They are stored in the router(see above)
Quote Also is the pn interface, the username and so on stored in the modem or router?
Yup, as long as it supports PPPoE on the WAN port(just about all of them do!)
Quote can we use almost any cable router
Edit: beat me to it there pwatson
Hi thanks for the replies guys
That's good news then
The price is good at about £17 and its a access point and a wifi repeater too, so if it didn't work id use it as a AP from the pn router to help with the bad wifi
if I used it as a router could I run a 5 meter cat5e or cat6 cable from the pn modem to it instead of the small supplied lead allowing me to move the router and so the wifi upstairs but keep the pn modem at the phone socket
its ether that or keep the pn stuff and get a TP-LINK 300MBPS Wall Plug Range Extender for a little more.
though it would be nice to have more control over setting like ports and DNS suppliers
