Personally I use a TP Link TD-9980, but others use Asus and several other makes including BT HH5/6's.
HH5's can be got cheaply on ebay, or you can get a Hub 1 from PN but you will have to take another contract out.

Is this a modem/router or just a router?

@markjonesx , That model will work however it may be a bit limited in terms of performance. It only has Wireless N capability and it's wired ports are only 100Mb as opposed to Gigabit.

@HairyMcbiker Not on the 9970 they aren't http://uk.tp-link.com/products/details/cat-15_TD-W9970.html#specifications . I've got one, but ONLY use it as a modem so it doesn't matter. The 9980 has Gigabit ports http://uk.tp-link.com/products/details/TD-W9980.html#specifications

Interesting, as you can see here
It says "Full Gigabit Ports". But it then says:
"4*10/100 Mbps RJ45 Ports, 1*RJ11 Port "
So some one has the details wrong.
I was going by the photo. But since s/he is replacing a Netgear it is probably only 10/100 anyway.
I know the 9980 is gigabit as I have been using one for past 2 years. But it is a lot dearer than this one.

Do they even still sell the TD-W9980? It's "End of Life" in terms of support from TP-Link, and does not support vectoring.

If it is EOL then it is probably highly reduced in cost.
