New router for plusnet fibre

brucey034 · 17 May 2013 at 18:44

Recently had Plusnet fibre installed, but the technicolor tg582n they supply only has 4 lan ports.

I am unable to connect our ps3 because all the ports are used.

Can anyone recommend a router with at least 5 lan ports to replace the Plusnet one ?

Would prefer below £50 thanks.

Why don't you get a switch?

I also recently got Plusnet fibre and got the Asus RT-N56U, like most routers it only has 4 ports. I've got a 5 port Netgear switch to add more ports.

Thanks for the reply, I don't really want to add an extra box to the mess behind the tv lol, plus the wireless from the technicolor tg582n is not the best in our house.

Sorry should have said, need one port for the BT modem and 4 more ports for tv, playstation etc.

Stupid me was looking at the blue port thinking it was a lan port.

Guess I need a switch.
