Full fibre alternative router/hub?

Lambouk — Fri, 14 May 2021 17:53:02 GMT

Hi. I just had full fibre installed but I was thinking about exchanging the hub for something else but unsure what to get. At the moment it comes into the house and goes to a little open reach box, the straight to the BT hub. Will the TP-Link Archer A7 AC1750 Be ok? Or can you suggest a better option. My budget is £100 max. Thanks

Your choice is pretty limited with that sort of budget, the Archer A7 will be ok. Depends what you are trying to achieve by replacing the hub.

When you received FTTP did you also get digital voice? If so you still need to use the SH2 for phone

Hi. I don’t use home phone so just the hub at the moment. I can go a little higher price if something is good. I’m mainly looking for a better router as my sons and I have gaming pc’s etc. Thanks

It’s been a bit unreliable. It keeps resetting it self. My last hub done that too so I thought an after market one would be more stable.
