Compatable Sky or BT Working Routers list.

OLDPHART · 8 Feb 2013 at 12:07

Since Fibre is now being the norm how about a thread stating which routers work with Sky or BT, would save a lot of time searching.

Sky - Billion 8200N, Netgear WNDR3700v2, DrayTek Vigor 2830[to be confirmed Daytrek support says it does> MER], AirPort Extreme Base Station.

Some of those listed are combined router/VDSL-modems, whereas some are just a router with a WAN port that you plug the OpenReach VDSL modem into...

Cheers Westy, just got it installed today so a little green about router/VDSL-modems, just thought a thread about compatable router/VDSL-modems would save time for people searching.

lol like me. :confused:

Also there's a difference between a router being compatible for FTTC (ie it's got an Ethernet WAN port) and it having enough horsepower to handle a full 80/20 connection. I tested a few routers when I first got FTTC and even on 40/10 some would choke.

Anyone thinking of using a Belkin N1 Vision has no problem works fine with BT Infinity 2.

Hi bertles86, l take it the DrayTek supports MER-MAC Encapsulated Routing (RFC 1483 MER)?

Will these work on any Fibre ISP? Thinking of going with Plusnet and am interested in the Draytek 2850.

Might as well hook onto this thread, due to christmas there's a lot more wireless devices around the house now, and it seems to cause the home hub 3 to stop giving all the devices connected to it no internet connection after a long while it's been on, cabled connection still works however.

Any good "cheap" alternatives for around £40?
