Plusnet devices disconnecting, will a new router fix this?

What are the options if you don't mind keeping the Openreach modem?

My understanding is that if you want to keep the modem you can use pretty much any router.

I just wanted only one device so I needed one that had a built in modem

Whoops, my mistake. The router I have just bought doesn't have a built in Modem, oh dear. Now I'm going to have 2 boxes in the hallway. It best be good

Nice.

I've just bought the TP-Link to replace my Plusnet router too.

In the Asus name, RT stands for router, it's DSL with the built in modem

. So the DSL-N66U was the one you wanted but unless it's different now Asus modems aren't very stable with FTTC.

Yeh silly mistake on my behalf haha. Do you know if this router will work with the plusnet hub one?

All I want is a more stable connection

Would it work well as an access point and provide more stability or would it be better buying a modem and bridging them?

good luck, i too have been having the same issues as you with plusnet.
openreach been out today and put me a new line in, upto now seems ok.

I've got Openreach coming on Friday to fix the horrendous speeds I'm having with Plusnet. It is unusable at times. They have already fixed one fault on the line. My new router should be in use for when the line is fixed!
