Whats the best router in your opinion..

[Stanman]

Sounds like its going to be separates, white openreach modem and router, in which case you can get the WNR2000 on ebay for around £10 or the gigibyte version from a scottish seller for £17.

Had mine for 3 months and had no problem.

The feature I love and got it for is WIFI can be switched off via a button on the back.

Personally could not justify £200+ on the draytek combo's

i 2nd the DDWRT. I use bt infinity with the Dlink 615 with DDWRT its perfection other than the wifi being a bit weak but i am waiting for the wireless AC standard to come out before i spend money on a new router. I dont think you need a draytek. The BT modem has been rock solid for me no problems its the shit home hub thats the problem.

Dont knock the router for being £10.00. Pics of gui on the thread below.

if you got BT you can flash the Fibre modem unlocking the webgui allowing you to view line stats and enable the use of the 2nd network port. I am in the process of figuring out how i can view the modems web interface and my routers through 1 cable.

Hi guys..

thanks for all your opinions on this.. Draytek seems to be the one that everyone is recommending..

I dont really have any interest in forking out 300+ for a 2820n though.. So waiting for one to come up for sale in auction on fleabay.. that will hopefully not make anything close to that..

In the mean time.. A m8 of mine has given me a 5 port Home Theater & Gaming network switch.. Model : GS605AV

Now im not well up in routers and stuff.. I take it this is useless to me.. as i now have BT business broadband.. So i can not remove my BT hub.. and replace with this switch..

I still have the crappy white modem that BT install.. and they tell me that i must use this modem.. ( would not expect them to say anything else really )

Does anyone know if this is this true ..?? As i dont see any ports in the switch to put the red ethernet cable coming from the modem..

Any help would be greatly appreicated,,

Hi mate,

The switch is used basically to increase the number of Ethernet ports so that more devices can be connected to the Internet etc. So it does not replace your hub or anything, you connect a LAN cable from your hub to the switch, then use the other ports on the switch to connect to your devices.

If you've got bt infinity, then look at my previous post to see how to make the draytek work as both the modem and router.

i am willing to send you a ddwrt dlink and if it freezes on you, and you have to reboot you can keep it for free. Otherwise send me £20 how does that sound.
