    New Router

    Hi, i have a virgin superhub which i use in modem mode with my own router, i think my router is on the way out and wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions as to a good replacement, doesn't have to be cheap, but not overly expensive, thanks.

    The superhub i have is only a few years old, i have tried it without my own router but wasn't impressed, connection speeds are much better with my own router.
