Yes please to new router if there's one left. ... View more

I'm also interested in setting up a Deco M5 mesh. So any non-jargon easy-peasy advice I'm reading with great interest. Thanks for all those answering others' questions. I actually bought a BT HH6 last year, it didn't improve my wifi coverage at all and I still had to use an extender. I don't even live in a thick-walled or large house. I was also one of those unlucky ones that the HH6 kept rebooting itself every 24 hours or so, very annoying and never corrected itself despite the firmware finally updating.(there's a whole thread somewhere about that issue). So I gave that up as a bad job and after continuing with a Hub Zero and then finally getting a Hub One, I'm still having to use an extender. Trouble is, if the signal is flaky from the HubOne then the extender can only relay the same wavering signal. So I'm looking at a the Deco idea with a lot of interest, as the Hub One so far is the most consistently connected router I've ever had from Plusnet, just naff wifi. I haven't had to reboot since the new firmware, where as previous HubZero routers had to be rebooted every couple of weeks to get speeds back. No fault on the line at all causing that, just pants hardware. Anyway the mesh idea seems the best and easiest. I don't totally understand the NAT thing, other than if one of the decos is used like a second router, which I don't see happening, as it would be a simple set up. From all feedback on places that sell them it's not mentioned at all for the simple purpose of improving wifi from the original router.   ... View more

@bobpullen  I'm still on ADSL but needing a new router was sent a Hub One as it works fine for that. (Being able to use 5GHz was something that would help my set up too). I was aware of this thread before and kept an eye on things. I've had it about a month and am noticing drops especially on the 5GHz band which is what I want to use most. Reading this thread I appear to have the same problem. The wifi drops, maybe for a few seconds or refuses to connect on the 5GHz with my phone or tablet, or goes slow for a moment, before going fine again. I always split the two bands and have done most of the troubleshooting.  Honestly, 80% of the time I can live with it, but it's frustrating watching a movie or live sport at times. The firmware is the .263 version and there is no last update known as I've only had it new a month. An update would, of course, be appreciated.   ... View more
