Alternative router suggestions.

Any thoughts on suitable candidates to replace the Hub2 ?

My gripes are only having 3 wired ports, no 'real' wifi off switch, and not the best ergonomics on my setup.

For low speed FTTP, but I do shovel data around internally

 

I have considered just adding a switch which is looks the cheap option and suffer the faff going via the GUI to turn off the hub wifi.  Still two devices though.

 

I need 5+ network ports

Not fussed about the fanciest wifi as I'm 90% wired, but still need some 802B/G at least.

I'd like a real switch to turn off the wifi 

QoS might be handy for VOIP (but 'well don't do anything else' has worked fine on ADSL so far)

Inbuilt VOIP a nice to have (avoids an ATA and yet another mains plug)

Not silly price, I'm not keen on the price tag on Draytek 2927's for example.

Re: Alternative router suggestions.

I'd go for an improved Router and a decent switch, if the Router fails then the switch will still keep the internal network runing.....
