Hi,
I have been using the plusnet Technicolor TG582n router for years and it's still working.
Over the last year we have had many more wireless devices around the house (ipads, Sonos etc) and I have noticed that the wireless performance is not as good as it was.
So I was thinking of getting a better router with better wireless performance. What is recommended?
Is it worth trying to get one of the newer plusnet routers?
Thanks

Hello there. It's possible your router is getting a little old, however I'd first recommend changing your wireless channel to help avoid any potential wireless interference in your area. Here's our guide on wireless connectivity.

If your wireless performance is still not up to scratch, a more powerful router or wifi booster could be a good option. We don't supply boosters, however our Customer Options Team (0800 013 2632) would be happy to look into providing the new Hub Zero router (worth £40.00) but free of charge as part of a new contract + P&P £6.99.

I would recommend a Hub One or a BT Hub 5 as this has newer wireless technology than the Hub Zero and TG582n.
