Re: 3rd party higher end router recommendation

Late to the party i just looked on Ebay Uk at fritzbox 7530  prices all over anyway tthere seems to be different 7530 versions some with Wifi 6   and higher Wifi Lan speeds etc.   are these way more powerfull than a BT Smart Business hub 6? or do you think ther BT 6 is still okish?  with a bit more life left?

@Empire 

If you go for a FritzBox make sure you get a UK version. They tend to have an ATA (Analogue Telephone Adapter) built into them.

 

If you're current router still covers your needs I would wailt until times change and you need to upgrade.

@Empire Have a look at link 4 in this chain and this link:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Fritz!Box_devices

If you buy from CEX you will in theory geta 24 month guarantee (of sorts) whereas with ebay its more buyer beware.

Other than brand new most Fritzbox are ex ZEN units and will work fine in the UK on both internet and VOIP.
