The performance of my supplied Technicolor router was never good. When my exchange was updated to fibre it became worse. Windows 10 Anniversary made it impossible to use - one page in three failed to load at all, and almost all were very slow to load. Strangely download speeds for files did not seem much affected.
Yesterday I replaced the Technicolor with an ASUS DSL-AC86U. The change is amazing! Pages now load "instantly" and navigation is a breeze. The wireless performance means that my Draytek Access Point downstairs is no longer needed.
Unlike other people who mention various problems with this range of ASUS routers, I had no problems installing and setting up - amazingly, I did not need to re-connect my Access Point.
Thoroughly recommended!

The Asus DSL-AC68U is much maligned, but I agree that it is an excellent router - I have used mine without issues on both ADSL and VDSL connections. Much of the 'bad press' IMO comes from users who tinker with the router's DSL settings, which I assume are intended for use where there are no network DLM facilities, rather than leaving the BTOR DLM system to optimise the connection.

Sorry, I have no idea!
I do not even know what Youview is.
