New budget router - any suggestions

kodak · 22 Jan 2015 at 09:57

I currently have an old homehub 3 router which is getting long in the tooth and needs rebooting weekly which is getting irritating. So I want to upgrade, any suggestions for sub £50 ADSL router?

Currently looking on ebay at "new" homehub 5's for £50ish? or would I do better getting a separate modem like TP-Link TD-8817 and a cable router? No fibre round here yet...

thanks,

A cable router won't work with ADSL.

Have you tried getting a new one from your ISP FOC?

isp is pusnet and their standard offering is pretty rubbish! re cable router - with separate modem

Are you on ADSL or Fibre? And what is your budget?

ADSL - in the country so no chance of fibre for years...
less than £50 would be good, but happy for a little more is needed

I guess I should also detail what i need which is quite basic - mac address filtering, assign static ip's, at least 2 network ports (have patch panel to distribute round the house)
