Actually I managed to setup my static LAN IP's and the router is working OK
I don't do gaming and my requirements are few. Though I'm unimpressed with the locked down nature of the router, it will do for now
I just don't understand why PN bother shipping stuff that so many people will end up ditching (I will at some point)
I will be moving the modem and router. I have a 10m rj11 extension to put in from the master to the modem and a 15m rj45 CAT5e to add from the modem to the router.
This
1. moves all the but ugly gear out of the lounge to what we call an undercroft
2. relocates it to a good central location for wireless distribution
3. will give me the option to easily add eth0 to rooms if required
When I move things next week, I'll give the TT router another go

I agree with your sentiments about the locked down router!

There's no rush to do anything, you go at your own pace. Fiddling with the Router ideally you can (and should) do with it not connected to anything except the computer you are using to configure it. When examining the configuration of another router, it's best to reboot the computer after you've connected the computer to it, so that the computer picks up the correct Router settings.
Where you want to disconnect a router from the modem, or disconnect the modem, this is where you need to be more careful.
The safest way is to log into the Router and click Disconnect on the Internet Interface to drop the PPP session - this helps avoid any potential issues with stale sessions, wait about 30 seconds then power off the router. Wait about 30 seconds and then power off the Modem. Never just unplug the modem from the line. After about a minute you can unplug it and change whatever is needed.
Turning back on is the reverse. Connect the Modem and power up, when it's booted and synced and the lights stabilised, power up the Router, when it's booted, you may need to log into it and click Connect to establish a new PPP session.

When I was previously with Plusnet, I used their super router on my fibre connection.
You just need to change it from automatic to manual under the connection settings and input your plusnet username and password.

Quote from: superuser So you still used the openreach modem and connected it the TT router in the Red Fibre socket?

If just playing with Routers, all you need to do is click Disconnect to drop the PPP session first and then power it off and unplug it from the BT Modem if you are going to swap it with another router. If you just want to play with another Router configuration, just unplug your computer from one router and plug it into another one and reboot the computer.
I am however mystified as to why your "speed hit the floor". Did you power off in daylight hours? Can you run the BTw Performance test (DON'T REBOOT, ignore the red preamble except make sure no other programs are using the Internet) and at the end of the first run, click the Further Diagnostics button, enter just your Phone number and Run the Further Diagnostics Test.
Do a Copy and Paste of the results and post here (no need to grab an image).
Edit: Note - the DSL-3780 is NOT a Fibre Modem/Router. It is an ADSL(2+) Modem/Router or a Fibre Router. I think the device theoddbot mentioned was probably a different "super-router".

It actually seems OK for my needs ATM and I just don't have the time to fiddle.
Actually speed has improved since replacing my RJ11 from Master to Modem (BT had put in some crappy basic flat telephone wire)
All cables are now CAT 5e shielded
