Hi All,
First of all Hi!
Just found this forum, going around in circles trying to find out the best solution, but cannot come up with an answer.... Google fu is not strong today.
I currently have a Brightbox 2 with FTTC (EE PLUS), I am 0.2 miles from the Cabinet, it's a ECI 128
I get 64/20 with the Brightbox 2, I want to ditch this and get something else, the router/modem is pants!
I have 2 Options, Modem & Router or All in one.
Firstly which is the best option, personally I am favoring the separate boxes as I can upgrade either at any time if technology changes and not all eggs in one basket.
Which modem is the best? the HG612 3B or the ECI V-2FUb/r Rev.B. I can get either model, I do not care for web GUI etc as I use command line and am an electronics engineer, I am looking purely performance, speed reliability.
What is a decent router to work with the modem, I have a 3 story house and everything is in the Study/Server room on the middle floor most machines via gigabit switches but mobile devices and laptops are on Wifi the Brightbox 2 Wifi rang is hopeless! Even a HH3 is better.
Or my second option which is least favored unless they have much better vDSL capability of the aforementioned modems...
Also, no idea if its the router/modem, cabinet, oversubscribed or even the ISP but I get a lot of web pages not loading on first click, have to reload once or twice on occasions?
Any answers gratefully appreciated.
