Better router to replace plusnet fibre

[413x]

Looking to replace the standard plusnet router/modem that came with our service

Any recommendations?

Also I know routers come in a specified connection type. All I know is we have a open reach fibre connection.
What exactly do I need to look for ?

Also, under our around 100, didn't realise how expensive some of these are

Happy to go second hand

It depends. The key thing to know is that your plusnet device is in fact a modem, router, switch and wireless access point all in one. The ideal technical solution would be to separate all these functions, but obviously that probably isn't possible due to domestic circumstances such as noise, space, cost, and aesthetic. This then becomes a matter of tailoring a solution for the required task. So, what is the task? Why do you want to change from the provided Plusnet device?

One reason is wireless gaming would be nice. Rather not have to use ethernet everywhere in house.
I want to attach a USB 3 hdd.
Old router often drops out, it may be the line, but when a new device comes on it flakes out.

Also, in near future will be moving into a large house, more penetration of walls would be great




Also, left old router at old house and won't be back for 2 weeks!
So modem and router all in one would be nice
