Here is a list of suitable VDSL routers:-

I have the Netgear D7000 which has good wireless capabilities but the TP Link TD-W9980 and various Billion models seem to be the most popular choices with users on this forum. Be careful if you have Plusnet TV as not all of these router will work with it.

Wireless range is excellent too, can pick it up from my man-cave which is a separate building about 20m away.

Quote from: dannyboy75 That Asus should work fine with your modem. I'm using a very similar RT-N66U with the Openreach-supplied ECI modem (looks same as yours) without any issues at all.

Excellent thank you, just got one from PC world for £85

But still waiting for the new service to be enabled.
Just wondering if you can tell us what connection settings you've used on your Asus?
