We had dial-up internet access with a modem.
Then we had ADSL with a modem/router.
Now we have VDSL with a modem and a router.
Fortunately, following the pattern, the next technology will have a combined single unit

Quote from: jockwav Why can,t PN offer their existing customers the chance of having a VDSL router.
Maybe one of the PN staff could put an answer up for this,i am sure a lot of people might be interested.

Until this happens however and BT continue to supply modem, it is cheaper to install on this basis than to supply an integrated device. How much more are you prepare to pay for your service to enable PN to supply a free integrated router? How much are you prepared to pay for the device if it isn't free? You can't have something for nothing!
There is, of course, nothing stopping you buying an integrated unit now if you so wish...

Modem near the master socket and the router on the end of a long cat6 cable positioned perfectly for all room wifi. When the router was down by the socket, next to the modem, some rooms had a wifi black spot.

Modem is in the window sill, then have a 5m cable to router (hidden under sofa) which is now in the middle of the room.
I had problems with dead spots when the router was also in the window.
