New ADSL Router

Hey,

I just upgraded to fiber which i believe comes through BT, anyways the router they gave me is totally crap and doesn't handle anything concurrently e.g. if I'm downloading something no one else can use the net at all, even if I cap it. Same with streaming TV or anything similar.

Would getting a new router help?

Asus RT-N56U

Also is a wireless ac router worth the cost now. I will be getting a new rMBP this xmas which should come with it and a new phone too around that time.

I have gone and got one without checking whether it will work with my new plusnet fibre so any help with setup and custom firmware would also be appreciated by me

Actual seems like it for cable and fibre so I might not even be able to get it.

I'd move from talktalk, slow speeds / disconnections

Hate them to bits but dad loves it for the phone package as a portion of our family moved to the states and they offer him free phone calls all times of the day.

I'm going to look at upgrade to Fibre as that comes from BT and should be a fair bit better.

@KIA thanks for the recommendation man looks pretty amazing.
